An iterated improved reduced system (IIRS) procedure combined with sub-structuring scheme for nonclassically damped structural systems is presented. For dynamic analysis of such systems, complex eigenproperties are required to incorporate properly the nonclassical damping effect. In complex structural systems, the equations of motion are written in the state space from. Thus, the number of degrees of freedom of the new equations of motion and the size of the associated eigenvalue problem required to obtain the complex eigenvalues and eigenvectors are doubled. Iterated IRS method is an efficient reduction technique because the eigenproperties obtained in each iteration step improve the condensation matrix in the next iteration step. However, although this reduction technique reduces the size of problem drastically, it is not efficient to apply this technique to a single domain finite element model with degrees of freedom over several thousands. Therefore, for a practical application of the reduction method, accompanying sub-structuring scheme is necessary. In the present study, iterated IRS method combined with sub-structuring scheme for nonclssically damped structures is developed. Numerical examples demonstrate the convergence and the efficiency of a newly developed scheme.

One common procedure in the approximate solution of a nonclassically damped linear system is to neglect the off-diagonal elements of the normalized damping matrix. A tight error bound, which can be computed with relative ease, is given for this method of solution. The role that modal coupling plays in the control of error is clarified. If the normalized damping matrix is strongly diagonally dominant, it is shown that adequate frequency separation is not necessary to ensure small errors.

The normal coordinates of a nonclassically damped systems are coupled by nonzero off-diagonal elements of modal damping matrix. The relationship between modal coupling and the frequency separation of the natural modes is presented in this paper. Contrary to widely accepted beliefs, increasing the frequency separation of the natural modes does not neccessarily diminish the effect of modal coupling. Consequently, in the pratical engineering applications, wide frequency separation of the natural modes would not be sufficient for neglecting modal coupling.

Nonclassically damping comes from drastic variations of energy absorption rates of the materials in different parts of structures, or from the external damping sources inserted into the structures. In this study, an approximate method based on the real valued normal modes to analyze the responses of a nonclassically damped system under stationary random excitations has been suggested. The dynamic responses of an aircraft landing gear under stationary random excitations has been analyzed using the proposed method. It has been found by a series of simulation that this method is superior to other approaches in respect of computational effort and accuracy.

Nonclassically damping domes from drastic variations of energy absorption rates of the materials in different parts of structures, or from the external damping sources inserted into the structures. In this study, an approximate method to calculate the frequency response of a method is superior to other approaches in respect of computational effort and accuracy. In addition, when frequency response is calculated by neglecting the off-diagonal elements of modal damping matrix, a criterion to ensure small errors is derived. In is shown that the criterion can be described as the vector sum of each modal coupling to the corresponding mode.

A simple technique to decouple the modal equations of motion of a linear nonclassically damped system is to neglect the off-diagonal elements of the modal damping matrix. This is called the decoupling approximation. It has generally been conceived that smallness of off-diagonal elements relative to the diagonal ones would validate its use. In this study, the relationship between elements of the modal damping matrix and the error arising from the decoupling approximation is explored. It is shown that the enhanced diagonal dominance of the modal damping matrix need not diminish the error. In fact, the error may even increase. Moreover, the error is found to be strongly dependent on the exitation. Therefore, within the practical range of engineering applications, diagonal dominance of the modal damping matrix would not be sufficient to supress the effect of modal coupling.

The motion of an aircraft landing gear over a rough runway can be modeled by a nonclassically damped system subject to nonstationary random excitations. In this paper, the approximate analysis methods based on either the real or complex normal modes for the computation of nonstationary response covariances are proposed. It has been found by simulation involving a realistic example that, for the nonclassically damped random vibrational systems, the approximate solution method based on the complex normal mode is superior to other approaches with respect to the accuracy and computation time.

본 논문에서는 중복근을 갖는 비비례 감쇠시스템의 고유치 해석 방법을 제안하였다. 2차 고유치 문제의 행렬 조합을 통한 선형 방정식에 수정된 Newton-Raphson기법과 고유벡터의 직교성을 적용하여 제안방법의 알고리즘을 유도하였다. 벡터 반복법 또는 부분공간 반복법과 같은 기존의 반복법에서는 수렴성을 향상시키기 위해 변위법을 적용하였으며, 이 값이 시스템의 고유치에 근사하게 되면 행렬분해 과정에서 특이성이 발생한다. 그러나 제안방법은 구하고자 하는 고유치가 중복근이 아닐 경우에, 변위값이 시스템의 고유치 일지라도 항상 정칙성을 유지하며, 이것을 해석적으로 증명하였다. 제안방법은 수정된 Newton-Raphson기법을 이용하기 때문에 초기값을 필요로 한다. 제안방법의 초기값으로는 반복법의 중간결과나 근사법의 결과를 사용할 수 있다. 이들 방법중 Lanczon방법이 가장 효율적으로 좋은 초기값을 제공하기 때문에 Lanczon방법의 결과를 제안방법의 초기값으로 사용하였다. 제안방법의 효율성을 증명하기 위하여 두가지 예제 구조물에 대해 해석시간 및 수렴성을 가장 많이 사용하고 있는 부분공간 반복법과 Lanczon방법의 결과와 비교하였다.
