Strategies for cable vibration: eigenvalues are suitable?
Mathematically, an eigenvalue analysis assumes the modal displacements are infinitesimally small, so the change in stiffness in the cable caused by the vibration is a second order effect which can be ...

How do I represent equations of motion of a dynamic system in State Space?
Karlo mentioned to use the state space of $[q,\dot{q}]^T$ this allows you to write the system as a first order differential equation of state space. If $X$ were the state space, you could write $\dot{...

What's the difference of using different state-space forms for solving eigenvalue problem?
Regarding the different state space formulations. First, M might not be invertible. In many cases it will be invertible, but sometimes it will not be. In your specific case, this would correspond ...

What's the difference of using different state-space forms for solving eigenvalue problem?
For any sinusoidal motion, the $\mathbf{q}$ really represents the motion $\Re(\mathbf{q}\,e^{i \omega t})$ in the time domain. $\mathbf{q}$ is complex because in general, the different elements of the ...

Are the modal participation factors bounded for shock response spectrum analysis?
In the section "The Multiple DOF System" the Comsol document says
It has been assumed that the mass matrix normalization of the
eigenmodes is used and that the damping matrix
can be ...

Stability with eigenvalues' real part equal to zero
If the algebraic multiplicity of an eigenvalue is greater than the geometric multiplicity, then the system matrix is not diagonalizable and there are vectors which are not linear combinations of the ...

Vibration following an impact
Regarding your first question IMHO eigenvalue analysis is appropriate and valid as long as the material is within the elastic range. Also another misconception is that, the application of eigenvalue ...

What's the difference of using different state-space forms for solving eigenvalue problem?
You basically want to solve for the homogeneous solutions of the system
$$
\textbf{M}\, \ddot{\textbf{q}} + \textbf{D}\, \dot{\textbf{q}} + \textbf{K}\, \textbf{q} = \textbf{0}.
$$
It can be shown ...

Undamped forced vibration for a multi dof system
The code in your OP seems to be for a 2 DOF system not a 24 DOF system. You could check that by printing the "frequencies" variable from your eigensolution.
The reason you are not getting anti-...

Analytical solution for wall eigenvalue analysis
Your "wall" would be referred as a "plate" in the technical literature. The eigenvalue problem for a plate is significantly more complicated than a beam, but similar ideas.
I would suggest that you ...

The distinction between lateral mass participation and vertical mass participation
From my understanding, mass participation for each mode is determined
by the general mass and the eigenvector of the mode, and eigenvector
of the mode usually consists of contribution from all the ...
