Abstract:For the generalized eigenvalue problem, a method based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is developed. In the proposed method, the dynamical structural response is viewed as a signal which contains all information about the vibrational frequencies. Using FFT to the signal, the vibrational frequencies can be obtained. The method is a kind of direct solution method which could compute all eigenvalues without the matrix inversion. The numerical example manifests the correction of the proposed method.
