2. Benchmark solution#

2.1. Calculation method#

The system of coupled second-order differential equations is of the form:

\(M\ddot{u}+Ku\mathrm{=}F\)

with \(M\mathrm{=}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0& 0& 0\\ 0& 10& 0\\ 0& 0& 5\end{array}\right]\) and \(K\mathrm{=}28000\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1+0.1j& \mathrm{-}1\mathrm{-}0.1j& 0\\ \mathrm{-}1\mathrm{-}0.1j& 2+0.1j& \mathrm{-}1\\ 0& \mathrm{-}1& 1\end{array}\right]\)

The \(\omega\) solution to \(\mathrm{F}\mathrm{=}{\mathrm{F}}_{0}{e}^{j\omega t}({j}^{2}\mathrm{=}\mathrm{-}1)\) harmonic excitation is of the form \(u\mathrm{=}{u}_{0}{e}^{j\omega t}\), which leads to: \((\mathrm{K}\mathrm{-}\mathrm{M}{\omega }^{2}){u}_{0}\mathrm{=}{\mathrm{F}}_{0}\)

This system is resolved for all \(\omega\).
