In spite of a large amount of previous research, detail study on modified mass in proportional damping system is not well understood. It is common to predict structural dynamic design parameters due to the change of mass, but to predict the amount of modified mass and the location where the mass is being modified are rarely found in previous literature. Such inverse problem required detail analytical study in order to understand structural modification in proportional damping system. This paper predicts the modified mass and the modified mass location in proportional damping system using sensitivity coefficients and iterative method. The sensitivity coefficients are obtained from the change of eigenvectors due to mass modification. This method is applied to a horizontal beam and three degree of freedoms system. To validate the predicted changing mass and its location, the obtained results are compared to the reanalysis result which shows good agreement.

Finite element models of dynamic systems can be updated in two stages. In the first stage, mass and stiffness matrices are updated neglecting damping. In the second stage, a damping matrix is estimated with the mass and stiffness matrices fixed. Methods to estimate a damping matrix for this purpose are proposed in this paper. For a system with proportional damping, a damping matrix is estimated using the modal parameters extracted from the measured responses and the modal matrix calculated from the mass and stiffness matrices from the first stage. For a system with non-proportional damping, a damping matrix is estimated from the impedance matrix which is the inverse of the FRF matrix. Only one low or one column of the FRF matrix is measured, and the remaining FRFs are synthesized to obtain a full FRF matrix. This procedure to obtain a full FRF matrix saves time and effort to measure FRFs.

In this study, the modal analysis is adopted for the investigation of vibratory characteristics of a rolling stock. A governing equation for this system is deverived on a condition that the rolling stock is in proportional viscous damping and proportional hysteretic damping. By applying this method a computational modal analysis software is developed. The validity and reliability of this method is verified by comparing the results for the above case and with those of a system having proportional viscous damping and a system having general viscous damping. A system that has non-linearity, an error from the calculation may occur in the analysis. In this case, we applied the piecewise linear method to estimate the modal parameters.

This paper predicts the modified proportional damping structural eigenvectors and eigenvalues due to the change in the mass and stiffness of a proportional damping structure by iterative calculation of the sensitivity coefficient using the original dynamic characteristics. The method is applied to examples of a cantilever and 3 degree of freedom lumped mass model by modifing the mass and stiffness. The predicted dynamic characteristics are in good agreement with these from the structural reanalysis using the modified mass and stiffness.

Finite element models of dynamic systems can be updated in two stages. In the first stage, mass and stiffness matrices are updated neglecting damping, and in the second stage, damping matrices are estimated with the mass and stiffness matrices fixed. Three methods to estimate damping matrices for this purpose are proposed in this paper. The methods include one for proportional damping systems and two for non-proportional damping systems. Method 1 utilizes orthogonality of normal modes and estimates damping matrices using the modal parameters extracted from the measured responses. Method 2 estimates damping matrices from impedance matrices which are the inverse of FRF matrices. Method 3 estimates damping using the equation which relates a damping matrix to the difference between the analytical and measured FRFs. The characteristics of the three methods are investigated by applying them to simulated discrete system data and experimental cantilever beam data.

This paper proposes a fast Fourier transform(FFT)-based spectral analysis method(SAM) for the dynamic responses of the linear discrete dynamic models with non-proportional damping. The SAM was developed by using discrete Fourier transform(DFT)-theory. To verify the proposed SAM, a three-DOF system with non-proportional viscous damping is considered as an illustrative example. The present SAM is evaluated by comparing the dynamic responses obtained by SAM with those obtained by Runge-Kutta method.

Frequency response functions are of great use in dynamic analysis of structural systems. The present paper proposes an efficient method for computation of the frequency rewponse functions of linear structural dynamic models with a sparse, non-proportional damping matrix. An exact condensation procedure is proposed which enables the present method to condense the matrices without resulting in any errors. Also, an iterative scheme is proposed to be able to avoid matrix inversion in computing frequency response matrix. The proposed method is illustrated through a numerical example.

In this paper, optimum methods of wind-induced vibration control of high-rise buildings are mainly studied. Two optimum methods, genetic algorithms (GA) method and Rayleigh damping method, are firstly employed and proposed to perform optimum study on wind-induced vibration control, six target functions are presented in GA method based on spectrum analysis. Structural optimum analysis programs are developed based on Matlab software to calculate wind-induced structural responses. A high-rise steel building with 20-storey is adopted and 22 kinds of control plans are employed to perform comparison analysis to validate the feasibility and validity of the optimum methods considered. The results show that the distributions of damping coefficients along structural height for mass proportional damping (MPD) systems and stiffness proportional damping (SPD) systems are entirely opposite. Damping systems of MPD and GAMPD (genetic algorithms and mass proportional damping) have the best performance of reducing structural wind-induced vibration response and are superior to other damping systems. Standard deviations of structural responses are influenced greatly by different target functions and the influence is increasing slightly when higher modes are considered, as shown fully in section 5. Therefore, the influence of higher modes should be considered when strict requirement of wind-induced vibration comfort is needed for some special structures.

An efficient method for change of eigenvectors and eigenvalues due to the modifying proportional damping structure using sensitivity coefficients is presented. Sensitivity coefficients are determined by iteration with eigenvalue and eigenvectors before modification of system. The proposed method is applied to examples of 3 degrees of freedom system and plate by modifying mass and stiffness. The predicted change of eigenvectors and eigenvalues are in a good agreement with these from the structural re-analysis after modification of mass and stiffness.

The dynamic response analysis for large structures using finite element method requires a large amount of computational resources. This paper presents an efficient vibration analysis procedure by combining node-based substructuring reduction method with a response analysis scheme for structures with undamped, proportional or nonproportional damping. The iterative form of substructuring reduction scheme is derived to reduce the full eigenproblem and to calculate the dynamic responses. In calculating the time response, direct integration scheme is used because it can be applied directly to the reduced model. Especially for the non proportional damping matrix, the transformation matrices defined in the displacement space are used to reduce the system. The efficiency and the effectiveness of the present method are demonstrated through the numerical examples.
