Universal Matrix Perturbation Method for Structural Dynamic Reanalysis of General Damped Gyroscopic Systems
We investigate an effective matrix perturbation method for structural dynamic reanalysis of general damped gyroscopic systems. By using the complex eigensubspace condensation and the or thogonal decomposition procedures, two greatly reduced generalized eigenvalue equations are obtained. The lower-order perturbations of eigensolutions (i.e. complex eigenvalues and the corresponding left and right eigenvectors) are then determined by solving the two reduced eigenvalue problems. The higher-order perturbations of eigensolutions are obtained by executing a singular value decomposition procedure for a complex matrix. The proposed method is a universal perturbation method, for it is universally applicable to the reanalysis of general damped gyroscopic systems with all three cases of complex eigenvalues: distinct, repeated, and closely spaced eigenvalues. Numerical examples corresponding to the three different cases of eigenvalues are presented. The perturbed eigensolutions are computed using the present method and compared with the exact solutions.
