6.1 Modal Analysis: Principal Coordinates & Coordinates Coupling

This document discusses modal analysis and the use of generalized coordinates to describe the motion of structures. It asks questions about generalized coordinates, how the choice of coordinates can impact natural frequencies and mode shapes, the differences between static and dynamic coupling, how principal coordinates relate to coupling and natural frequencies, and how principal coordinates are related to generalized coordinates.

Principal Coordinates & Coordinates Coupling

Questions
What is the definition of generalised coordinates?

Is the solution (mode shape and natural frequency) dependent on the choice of the generalised coordinates used?
What is static coupling and dynamic coupling?

What is the implication of principal coordinates on the coupling?


How are the natural frequencies of the system defined using the Principal Coordinates?

Can we relate the Principal Coordinates to the generalised coordinates? How?
