Abstract

The eigen-matrix, defined by A = PΛP-1 (where P and Λ are the eigenvector and eigenvalue matrices of an MCK system, respectively), and its associated properties in describing the dynamic behaviors of linear elastic system are presented. The eigen-matrix is defined to satisfy the quadratic matrix equation of the form MA2 + CA + K = 0 An analytic solution to this equation for the proportionally damped system is obtained. For non-proportionally damped system, A numerical algorithm is developed. The numerical algorithm is especially useful in the dynamic analysis of structures with large number of degrees of freedom.
