    Why can not two modes coincide perfectly for some cases in Flutter phenomena?

    Hi dear friends, I have a question about flutter phenomena. As you know, flutter occurs when two modes ( for example first mode and second mode ) coincide ( I mean after a specific velocity, the frequencies of two modes, will be the same and equal) and the damping term will change into positive...

    How to plot Mode shapes of a structure using its frequencies

    Thank you all for your great help. I want to know how it is possible to plot the mode shapes ( a static display of a mode shape ) using Complex Eigen vectors ?! Assume that these are my Eigenvavlues : Landa1= 5+2i Landa2=5-2i and corresponding Eigenvectors are : V1=[1 1-2i]T V2=[1 1+2i]T

    How to plot Mode shapes of a structure using its frequencies

    My structure is a continuous simply supported beam. I have problem with calculating its mode shapes using eigenvectors !! I mean I don't know how to use eigenvectors or eigenvalues to calculate mode shapes of a n-DOF ( n Degree Of Freedom ) system!! ( Here, my problem is a 6 DOF system! ) Does...

    How to plot Mode shapes of a structure using its frequencies

    Dear friends, I am a beginner in the mechanical vibration field. I have the EOM ( Equation Of Motion ) of my problem in the standard form ( Mxtt+Cxt+Kx=0).Then, in the next stage, I uesd State-space form ( AXt+BX=0 ) of my EOM to calculate the eigenvalues of the system in order to extract the...
