Understanding Modal Vectors

This monograph reviews the properties and characteristics of modal vectors from both an analytic and experimental viewpoint. The commonly understood and well documented normal modes of undamped and proportionally damped models and structures are reviewed in detail. The less well documented and under...

Summary:This monograph reviews the properties and characteristics of modal vectors from both an analytic and experimental viewpoint. The commonly understood and well documented normal modes of undamped and proportionally damped models and structures are reviewed in detail. The less well documented and understood complex modes attributed to non-proportional damping are also explored in detail. New information relating to complex mode scaling, modal mass and associated frequency response functions is presented.
