15.1 Introduction The mode acceleration method (MAM) will improve the accuracy of the responses ; displacements and derivatives thereof such as element forces, stresses, etc., with respect to the mode displacement method (MDM) when a reduced set of mode shapes is used [Thomson 98, McGowan 93, Craig 68,77]. The MDM is often called the mode superposition method. The MDM may only be used for linear dynamics systems. The MAM takes the truncated modes "statically" into account. Using the MAM, less modes may be taken into account compared to the MDM.

The eigenvalue problem becomes (15.2)

With the general modal matrix [] = []T_[]T[MHcI>HMH{ = {O} .

After some manipulations we get ('Arl[{[K]-[MH]T

(15.7)

Premultiplying (15.7) by the modal matrix [cI>] we get [] ('A)-l [{[K]-[HM][]T = {O} .

This is equal to

The inverse of the nonsingular stiffness matrix is called the flexibility matrix [G] = [Kr' and therefore (15.10)

A linear undamped dynamic system is described by the following equation of motion

Premultiplying the previous equation with the modal matrix [] and postmultiplying the previous equation with [M] [] T the result will be:

Using the orthogonality relations of the modal matrix with respect to the mass matrix we obtain:

Thus finally the inverse of the mass matrix can be calculated as: [Mr
