Existence of Uncoupled Modes in Subsystem Analysis
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 116, Issue 4
Abstract
Structural models are considered that are conveniently viewed as a composite of subsystems. Conditions are sought that assure the simultaneous existence of classical uncoupled modes of vibration for the composite system and for each of the subsystems. It is shown that the Rayleigh condition for the composite system is the only situation giving precisely the desired uncoupled modes. More general conditions give approximately uncoupled modes if the system is composed of a massive primary system and a light secondary system.
