Abstract

The use of an orthogonal set of specially selected Ritz vectors is shown to be very effective in reducing the cost of dynamic analysis by modal superposition. Several mechanical structures are examined and the Ritz vector approach is compared to the classical eigenvector approach on the basis of cost, accuracy, and elapsed analysis (throughput) time. Mathematical proof of the completeness of orthogonal Ritz vectors is provided for the case of a positive definite mass matrix and a symmetric stiffness matrix.
