Efficient eigensolution reanalysis of nonclassically damped structuresEffective methods of approximate eigensolution reanalysis of modified nonclassically damped structures are developed. For structures with passive or active discrete damping devices or with damping treatment, the system becomes nonproportionally damped and the computation of its dynamic responses may require the use of complex modes. For larger systems, the computation of complex modes is very expensive. Thus it is desirable to have approximate reanalysis techniques for the efficient evaluation of the effect of design changes. In recent years, the assumed mode reanalysis method was successfully applied to minimum weight design of undamped structures with natural frequency constraints. The accuracy of the assumed mode reanalysis method can be improved dramatically if the global approximation function includes the normal modes of the original system and their derivatives. This approach was demonstrated to be effective even for a system with shape changes. The approach used by Noor et al. for eigensolution reanalysis of undamped structures is extended to treat a nonclassically damped system.
