Passive vibration control of space structure by receptance theory

The vibration of three-dimensional frame structures was studied as receptan ce motion. A receptance model was constructed for passive vibration reducti on. First, the universal receptance computational method suitable to any co mbination of boundary conditions was given, and then the way of passive dam ping-damping elements was analyzed, and an iterative approach to select opt imal damping positions, whose dissipated paver is larger than the others, w as proposed bared on the results of receptance analysis. The results show t hat, the receptance model is very suitable for local modification and analy sis of structures.
