Dynamic redesign of modified structures Welch, Philip Arthur

Abstract

A procedure is described for the redesign of undamped unforced linear structural systems to meet specified changes in natural frequency or mode shape. A baseline analysis is conducted using finite elements to obtain a subset of the natural frequencies and mode shapes. A two stage perturbation analysis is then used to obtain the structural changes required to meet the specified changes in natural frequency or mode shape.
