It is interesting to observe that in the steady state, we have a matrix which, in the absence of fluid compressibility, results in

which only can have a unique solution when the number of
3.2.6 Damping Matrices
In general, when dynamic problems are encountered in soils (or other geomaterials), the damping introduced by the plastic behavior of the material and the viscous effects of the fluid flow are sufficient to damp out any nonphysical or numerical oscillation. However, if the solutions of the problems are in the low‐strain range when the plastic hysteresis is small or when, to simplify the procedures, purely elastic behavior is assumed, it may be necessary to add system damping matrices of the form
(3.70)
Indeed, such damping matrices have a physical significance and are always introduced in earthquake analyses or similar problems of structural dynamics. With the lack of any special information about the nature of damping, it is usual to assume the so‐called “Rayleigh damping” in which

where α and β are coefficients determined by experience (see, for instance, Clough and Penzien (1975) or (1993)). In the above, M is the same mass matrix as given in (3.24) and K is some representative stiffness matrix of the form given in (3.47).
