For generally damped linear systems with repeated eigenvalues and defective eigenvectors, this study provides a decomposition method based on residue matrix, which is suitable for engineering applications. Based on this method, a hybrid approach is presented, incorporating the merits of the modal superposition method and the residue matrix decomposition method, which does not need to consider the defective characteristics of the eigenvectors corresponding to repeated eigenvalues. The method derived in this study has clear physical concepts and is easily to be understood and mastered by engineering designers. Furthermore, this study analyzes the applicability of step-by-step methods, including the Newmark beta and Runge-Kutta methods for dynamic response calculation of defective systems. Finally, the implementation procedure of the proposed hybrid approach is illustrated by analyzing numerical examples, and the correctness and the effectiveness of the formula are judged by comparing the results obtained from the different methods.

This paper introduces an eigenvalue method of transforming the hyperbolic partial differential equations of a particular unsteady friction water hammer model into characteristic form. This method is based on the solution of the corresponding one-dimensional Riemann problem that transforms hyperbolic quasi-linear equations into ordinary differential equations along the characteristic directions, which in this case arises as the eigenvalues of the system. A mathematical justification and generalization of the eigenvalues method is provided and this approach is compared to the traditional characteristic method.

A simplified for the eigenpair sensitivities of damped systems is presented. This approach employs a reduced equation to determine the sensitivities of eigenpairs of the damped vibratory systems with distinct eigenvalues. The derivatives of eigenpairs are obtained by solving an algebraic equation with a symmetric coefficient matrix of (n+1) b (n+1) dimension where n is the number of degree of freedom. This is an improved method of the previous work of Lee and Jung. Two equations are used to find eigenvalues derivatives and eigenvector derivatives in their paper. A significant advantage of this approach over Lee and Jung is that one algebraic equation newly developed is enough to compute such eigenvalue derivatives and eigenvector derivatives. Simulation results indicate that the new method is highly efficient in determining the sensitivities of engenpairs of the damped vibratory systems with distrinct eigenvalues.

The goal of this paper is to determine the eigenvalues of a uniform rectangular plate carrying any number of spring-damper-mass systems using an analytical-and-numerical-combined method (ANCM). To this end, a technique was presented to replace each "spring-damper-mass" system by a massless equivalent "spring-damper" system with the specified effective spring constant and effective damping coefficient. Then, the mode superposition approach was used to transform the partial differential equation of motion into the matrix equation, and the eigenvalues of the complete system were determined from the associated characteristic equation. To verify the reliability of the presented theory, all numerical results obtained from the ANCM were compared with those obtained from the conventional finite element method (FEM) and good agreement was achieved. Since the order of the property matrices for the equation of motion obtained from the ANCM is much lower than that obtained from the FEM, the CPU time required by the ANCM is much less than that by the FEM.

This paper describes a transfer matrix approach to analyze the dynamics of a high sped flexible rotor system supported at 2 positions by five ceramic bearings. The rotor system is modelled as lumped parameters in which many factors are considered not only lumped inertia or mass, bending moment, shear force but also gyroscopic effect and unbalance. The equation of motion is derived in the transfer matrix form, from which the eigenvalues equation is also derived. The transfer natural frequencies and modes. The eigenvalues, eigenmodes, campbell diagram, whirling critical speed, whirling modes, and the response of unbalance are calculated and discussed.

This paper suggests a control method for efficient topology/parameter evolution in a bond-graph-based GP design framework that automatically synthesizes designs for multi-domain, lumped parameter dynamic systems, We adopt a hierarchical breeding control mechanism with fitness-level-dependent differences to obtain better balancing of topology/parameter search - biased toward topological changes at low fitness levels, and toward parameter changes at high fitness levels. As a testbed for this approach, an eigenvalue assignment problem, which is to find bond graph models exhibiting minimal distance errors from target sets of eigenvalues, was tested and showed improved performance for various sets of eigenvalues.

In this paper, we treat image segmentation as a graph partitioning problem. and use the normalized cut for segmenting the graph. The normalized cut criterion measures both the total dissimilarity between the different graphs as well as the total similarity within the groups. The minimization of this criterion can formulated as a generalized eigenvalues problem. We have applied this approach to segment static image. This criterion can be shown to be computed efficiently by a generalized eigenvalues problem

This paper presents properties of piecewise cubic B-spline function and Rayleigh-Ritz method to compute the smallest eigenvales. In order to compute the smallest eigenvalues, Rayleigh quotient approach is used and four different types of finite element approximating functions corresponding to the statical deflection curve, spanned by the linearly independent set of piecewise cubic B-spline functions with equally spaced 5 knots from a partion of [0, 1], each satisfying homogeneous boundary conditions with constraining effects are used to compute the smallest eigenvalues for a Sturm-Lionville boundary equations of u"＋ λ²u＝0, u(0.0)＝u(0.0)＝0, 0≤x≤1.0.

A new formulation of the MNDIF method is introduced to extract highly accurate eigenvalues of concave acoustic cavities with arbitrary shapes. It is said that the MNDIF method cannot yield accurate eigenvalues for concave cavities. To overcome this weak point, a new approach of dividing a concave cavity into two convex domains is proposed. The validity of the proposed method is shown through a case study.

A modified NDIF method using a sub-domain approach is introduced to extract highly accurate eigenvalues of two-dimensional, arbitrarily shaped acoustic cavities. The NDIF method, which was developed by the authors for the eigen-mode analysis of arbitrarily shaped acoustic cavities, has the feature that it yields highly accurate eigenvalues compared with other analytical methods or numerical methods(FEM and BEM). However, the NDIF method has the weak point that it can be applicable for only convex cavities. It was revealed that the solution of the NDIF method is very inaccurate or is not suitable for concave cavities. To overcome the weak point, the paper proposes the sub-domain method of dividing a concave domain into several convex domains. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified in two case studies, which indicate that eigenvalues obtained by the proposed method are more accurate compared to the exact method, the NDIF method, or FEM(ANSYS).
