Abstract
An efficient technique is presented for optimum design of
structures with both natural frequency and complex
frequency response constraints. The main idea is to reduce
the number of dynamic analysis by introducing high quality
approximations. Eigenvalues are approximated using the
Rayleigh quotient. Eigenvectors are also approximated for
the evaluation of eigenvalues and frequency responses. A
two point approximation is used to approximate the functions
under consideration. After the substitution of the
approximate functions into the original optimization
problem, the dynamic analysis of the structure is not
necessary in the specified move limits. The sensitivities of
the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are calculated analytically.
In the problems under consideration repeated eigenvalues
occur. Thus the sensitivities are evaluated for repeated
eigenvalues.
