Abstract:
This paper studies how to measure the controllability and observability ofvibration mode shapes with repeated frequencies and how to show clearly the structure of thesubspace consisting of these mode shapes with repeated frequencies in terms of controllabilityand observability. Using singular value decomposition technique,a new set of mode shapesassociated with this repeated frequency and the corresponding singular values has beenfound out.This new set of mode shapes, called the principal mode shapes,can c...
