Eigenpath Following for Systems with Symmetric Complex-Valued Stiffness Matrices

A vibration analysis of a structure with joints is performed. The simulation is conducted with finite element software capable of performing a numeric modal analysis with hysteretic damping assumption. The joints are modeled with thin layer elements, representing dissipation and stiffness of the joi...
