Update: For the normal force of the bond, the problem has been fixed. More testing is needed to determine if the tangent force and moments are also fixed. This was done my multiplying the time step with beta0 and dividing beta 2 by the time step. As far as I can tell, the linear portion of the damping was unaffected (other than by numerical damping).
The nonlinear damping equations are time step dependent. As long as you calibrate the damping at the time step you wish to use, this shouldn't be an issue. Work is being done to determine the best way to make the damping not dependent on the time step.
