Abstract
The structural resonance properties of damped structures can be exploited to obtain a required dynamic response with relatively low input power requirements. Practical applications often demand temporary modifications of this response. This paper presents a systematic approach to modify the response of harmonically driven, non-proportionally damped resonating structures using local structural property changes and excitation adjustments. The complex response is written in polar form (i.e., modulus and argument) to enhance insights. Sensitivity analysis is used to approximate the influence of the control variables on the response. A projection is proposed to determine the locations at which a specific structural change scores maximum effect to reach the desired response modifications. The introduced response normalization separates amplitude and shape modifications in a clear way. This work shows response modifications of non-proportionally damped resonating structures due to control variables in an intuitive manner.
