Multiple-degree-of-freedom linear asymmetric nonviscously damped systems are considered. It is assumed that the nonviscous damping forces depend on the past history of velocities via convolution integrals over exponentially decaying kernel functions. An extended state-space approach involving a single asymmetric matrix is proposed. The nature of the eigensolutions in the extended state space has been explored. Some useful results relating the modal matrix in the extended state space and the modal matrix in the original space has been derived. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the results.
