<p>Structural synthesis is a method of calculating the transient dynamic response of  an assemblage of substructures without explicitly assembling and solving a combined  system model. While significant computational advantages are provided by this  method, the modal parameters of the combined system are not explicitly calculated.  Hence, a method is needed to allow the a priori determination of the substructure  damping levels such that the synthesized system damping is within user-prescribed  bounds. This thesis focuses on the development of such a method.
