mode shapes
in what shape the structure would tend to vibrate at each frequency
L02-3
Benefits of modal analysis Allows the design to avoid resonant vibrations or to vibrate at a specified frequency (speaker box, for example). Gives engineers an idea of how the design will respond to different types of dynamic loads. Helps p in calculating g solution controls (time ( steps, p , etc.) ) for other dynamic analyses.
Recommendation: Because a structures vibration characteristics determine how it responds to any type of dynamic load, it is generally recommended to perform a modal analysis first before trying any other dynamic analysis.
L02-4
Terminology
A mode refers to the pair of one natural frequency and corresponding mode shape.
A structure can have any number of modes, up to the number of DOF in the model.
mode 1 { } 1 f1 = 109 Hz
mode 2 { } 2 f2 = 202 Hz
mode 3 { } 3 f3 = 249 Hz
L02-5
Damped eigensolvers (MODOPT,DAMP or MODOPT,QRDAMP) may be accessed using Commands Objects, but will not be covered here.
The structure has no time varying forces, displacements, pressures, or temperatures applied (free vibration).

Substitute and simplify

This is an eigenvalue problem which may be solved for up to n eigenvalues i2, and n eigenvectors, eigenvalues, eigenvectors {}i, where n is the number of DOF.

Ideally, the sum of the effective masses in each direction should equal total mass of structure structure, but will depend on the number of modes extracted. extracted The ratio of effective mass to total mass can be useful for determining whether or not a sufficient number of modes have been extracted.

Contact Regions
Contact regions are available in modal analysis; however, since this is a purely linear analysis, contact behavior will differ for the nonlinear contact types, as shown below:
Linear Dynamic Analysis Contact Type Bonded No Separation Rough Frictionless Frictional Static Analysis Bonded No Separation Rough Frictionless Frictional Initially Touching Bonded No Separation Bonded No Separation = 0, No Separation > 0, Bonded Inside Pinball Region Bonded No Separation Free Free Free Outside Pinball Region g Free Free Free Free Free

Unconstrained Systems
An unconstrained system is one that has no constraints or supports and can move as a rigid body in at least one direction.
Rigid-body motion can be considered to be a mode of oscillation with zero frequency. In practice, these modes may not have a frequency of exactly zero.
Note that a well-connected system can have at most six rigid-body modes.

Prestress Effects
A prestressed modal analysis can be used to calculate the frequencies and mode shapes of a prestressed structure, such as a spinning turbine blade.
The prestress influences the stiffness of the structure through the stressstiffening matrix contribution.
L02-18
Prestress Effects
A linear static analysis is initially performed:
[K ]{u} = {F } [ ]
Based on the stress state [] from the static analysis, a stress stiffness matrix [S] is calculated (see Theory Reference for details):
[ ] [S ]
The free vibration with pre-stress analysis is then solved, including the [S] term:
Note that the prestress only affects the stiffness of the system.
i.e. i e the static prestress will not be added to the modal stress

Note that the prestressed state increased the frequencies of this structure.
e.g. the first mode in this example increased from 108.3 Hz to 274.6 Hz
Not Prestressed Prestressed
A prestress may not always increase the natural frequencies; a compressive load will decrease the frequencies.
In fact, fact a sufficiently-high compressive load will result in a natural frequency of zero, effectively replicating the results of a buckling analysis.
