This paper numerically demonstrates the Bayesian estimation of damping terms. In the Bayesian estimation framework, the posterior distributions are to be derived via a sampling-based approach. This study employes the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) based on the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and the Transitional Markov chain Monte Carlo (TMCMC). A simple mass-spring-damper model is first utilized to compare the effectiveness of MCMC and TMCMC, followed by a numerical demonstration using a one degree-of-freedom (DOF) roll motion model for roll damping estimation.
