Natural Vibrations of a Free Structure: Application of the Matrix Flexibility Method to the Prediction of Normal Vibration Modes Using a Co‐ordinate System Which Facilitates Programming on a Digital Computer

Abstract

THE matrix flexibility method for the prediction of the normal modes of vibration of a structure may be extended to the case of a structure which has no external supports. This is of particular relevance to problems of aircraft and missile vibration.
