R. Whalley et M. Ebrahimi, THE DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF MECHANICAL SYSTEMS AND STRUCTURES WITH LARGE PARAMETER VARIATIONS, Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part G, Journal of aerospace engineering, 211(G3), 1997, pp. 169-181
A general approach to the analysis of mechanical systems and structure
s where large parameter variations occur is outlined. Aircraft and mis
sile problems where there are acknowledged changes in the system model
coefficients are identified. Performance variations associated with o
perational conditions are investigated. Simple solutions to the determ
inantal equation are proposed.
