Sh. Chen et al., DESIGN SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR MODE SPECTRUM FOR LARGE-AMPLITUDE FORCED VIBRATIONS OF BEAMS, Computers & structures, 53(2), 1994, pp. 363-366
A computational method for design sensitivity analysis of a nonlinear
mode spectrum for forced vibrations of beams is presented. The large d
eflection leads to geometric nonlinearity. Longitudinal displacement a
nd inertia are considered in the nonlinear vibration formulation. A nu
merical example is given to illustrate the validity of the proposed me
thod.
