Abstract
An efficient relationship between physical properties of
structures and their eigenvalues is established. The
formulation allows the determination of the necessary
modifications on the structural members to achieve the
specified frequency. The calculations involved do not include
any iteration or convergence and therefore it is
computationally efficient.
The modification can either be global or local. In addition to the modification of the existing structural elements the formulation can also be used to add new structural elements to achieve the desired natural frequencies. Although in the present paper only simple plane structures are considered the formulation can be applied to large space structures. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
