Summary
In this paper the Rayleigh-Ritz method (RRM) together with the bipenalty parameter
method (BPM) are used to compute the natural frequencies and modes of vibration
of three dimensional bodies. The RRM is a very well-known procedure to compute
the natural frequencies and modes of vibration of structural elements, while the
BPM is a procedure that consists of applying artificial stiffness (springs) and
artificial mass (mass and moments of inertia) to model constraints. Furthermore,
when using the BPM it is possible to control the range of the values of the
eigenvalues if the ratio of the artificial spring and artificial mass is selected
carefully. This work investigates potential problems that can arise resulting from ill-conditioning
of the system. Results obtained using the present approach are
compared against published results. The novelty of this work is the study of the
feasibility of applying penalty and bi-penalty parameters in the RRM when solving
for natural frequencies and modes of vibration of three dimensional bodies which
involves a large number of degrees of freedom, as well as the study of the
convergence of the method.
