Zs. Liu et Cd. Mote, A NEW DISCRETE APPROACH TO EIGENVALUE SENSITIVITY WITH RESPECT TO CONSTRAINT LOCATIONS, Journal of sound and vibration, 204(4), 1997, pp. 623-630
The sensitivity of eigenvalues to the location of bracing and/or bound
ary support is formulated by using a generalized variational principle
. The constraints are incorporated through the use of Lagrange multipl
iers. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the proposed metho
d and its accuracy in application. (C) 1997 Academic Press Limited.
