II. Free Vibration
Study of the dynamic characteristics of a structure:
natural frequencies normal modes (shapes)
Let f(t) = 0 and C = 0(ignore damping) in the dynamic
equation (8) and obtain
0KuuM =+&& (12)
Assume that displacements vary harmonically with time,
that is,

where u is the vector of nodal displacement amplitudes.
Eq. (12) yields,
[ ] 0uMK = 2 (13)
This is a generalized eigenvalue problem (EVP).

Trivial solution: 0u = for any values of (notinteresting).
Nontrivial solutions: 0u only if
02 = MK (14)
This is an n-th order polynomial of2, from which we canfind n solutions (roots) or eigenvalues i.
i (i = 1, 2, , n) are the natural frequencies (orcharacteristic frequencies) of the structure.
1 (the smallest one) is called the fundamentalfrequency.
For each i , Eq. (13) gives one solution (or eigen)vector
0uMK = ii2
.
iu (i=1,2,,n) are the normal modes (or natural
modes, mode shapes, etc.).
Properties of Normal Modes

i uMu , for i j. (15)
That is, modes are orthogonal (or independent) to each
other with respect to Kand M matrices.

Note:
Magnitudes of displacements (modes) or stresses innormal mode analysis have no physical meaning.
For normal mode analysis, no support of the structure isnecessary.
i = 0 there are rigid body motions of the wholeor a part of the structure.
apply this to check the FEA model (check formechanism or free elements in the models).
Lower modes are more accurate than higher modes inthe FE calculations (less spatial variations in the lower
modes fewer elements/wave length are needed).
