Tutorial on Attached-Mean Axes and Their Use in the Calculation of Deformable Static and Damped-Undamped Vibration Modes of a Free-Free Structure

Paolo Mantegazza

Abstract


The tutorial shows how the use mean axes allows a unification of the calculation of a free structure deformable motions, be that associated to equivalent static static responses, modes acceleration, deformable free vibration modes. The presentation takes into account a generic Ritz approximation and its application to Finite Elements models.
