Modal Analysis

A. Definition & Purpose

• What is modal analysis?

• A technique used to determine a structure’s vibration characteristics:

– Natural frequencies– Mode shapes– Mode participation factors (how much a given mode participates in a

given direction)

• Most fundamental of all the dynamic analysis types.

Modal Analysis

… Definition & Purpose

Benefits of modal analysis

• Allows the design to avoid resonant vibrations or to vibrate at a specified frequency (speakers, for example).

• Gives engineers an idea of how the design will respond to different types of dynamic loads.

• Helps in calculating solution controls (time steps, etc.) for other dynamic analyses.

Recommendation: Because a structure’s vibration characteristics determine how it responds to any type of dynamic load, always perform a modal analysis first before trying any other dynamic analysis.

• General equation of motion:

• Assume free vibrations and ignore damping:

• Assume harmonic motion ( i.e. )

• The roots of this equation are i2, the eigenvalues, where i ranges

from 1 to number of DOF. Corresponding vectors are {u}i, the eigenvectors.

Modal Analysis

… Terminology & Concepts

• The square roots of the eigenvalues are i , the structure’s natural circular frequencies (radians/sec). Natural frequencies fi are then calculated as fi = i/2cycles/sec. It is the natural frequencies fi that are input by the user and output by ANSYS.

• The eigenvectors {u}i represent the mode shapes - the shape assumed by the structure when vibrating at frequency fi.

Modal Analysis

… Terminology & Concepts (cont.)

• Mode Extraction is the term used to describe the calculation of eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

• Mode Expansion has a dual meaning. For the reduced method, mode expansion means calculating the full mode shapes from the reduced mode shapes. For all other methods, mode expansion simply means writing mode shapes to the results file.

Modal Analysis - Terminology & Concepts

Mode Extraction Methods

• Several mode extraction methods are available in ANSYS:– Block Lanczos (default)– Subspace– PowerDynamics– Reduced– Unsymmetric– Damped (full)– QR Damped

• Which method you choose depends primarily on the model size (relative to your computer resources) and the particular application.

Modal Analysis - Terminology & Concepts

… Mode Extraction Methods - Block Lanczos

• The Block Lanczos method is recommended for most applications.

– Efficient extraction of large number of modes (40+) in most models– Typically used in complex models with mixture of

solids/shells/beams etc.– Efficient extraction of modes in a frequency range – Handles rigid-body modes well

Modal Analysis - Terminology & Concepts

… Mode Extraction Methods - Subspace

• When extracting a small number of modes (<40) in similar size models, the subspace method can be more suitable.

– Requires relatively less memory but large diskspace– May have convergence problems when rigid body modes are present.– Not recommended when constraint equations are present.– Generally superseded by Block Lanczos

Modal Analysis - Terminology & Concepts

… Mode Extraction Methods - PowerDynamics

• For large (100K+ DOF) models and a small number of modes (< 20), use the PowerDynamics method. It can be significantly faster than Block Lanczos or Subspace, but:

– Requires large amount of memory.– May not converge with poorly shaped elements or an ill-conditioned

matrix.– May miss modes (No Sturm sequence check)– Recommended only as a last resort for large models.

Modal Analysis - Terminology & Concepts

… Mode Extraction Methods - Reduced

• For models in which lumping mass does not create a local oscillation, typically beams and spars, use the Reduced method.

– Memory and disk requirements are low.

– In general fastest eigen solver

– Employs matrix reduction, a technique to reduce the size of [K] and [M] by selecting a subset of DOF called master DOF.

– Reduction of [K] is exact but [M] loses some accuracy

– Accuracy of [M] depends on number and location of master DOF.

– Generally not recommended due to

• Expertise required in picking master DOF

• Efficient alternatives such as Block Lanczos

• reduced cost of hardware

Modal Analysis - Terminology & Concepts

… Mode Extraction Methods - Unsymmetric

• The unsymmetric method is used for acoustics (with structural coupling) and other such applications with unsymmetric [K] and [M].

– Calculates complex eigenvalues and eigenvectors:

• Real part is the natural frequency.

• Imaginary part indicates stability - negative means stable, positive means unstable.

Modal Analysis - Terminology & Concepts

… Mode Extraction Methods - Damped

• Damping is normally ignored in a modal analysis, but if its effects are significant, the Damped method is used.

– Typical application is rotor dynamics, where gyroscopic damping effects are important.

– Two ANSYS elements, BEAM4 and PIPE16, allow gyroscopic effects to be specified in the form of real constant SPIN (rotational speed, radians/time).

– Calculates complex eigenvalues and eigenvectors:

• Imaginary part is the natural frequency.

• Real part indicates stability - negative means stable, positive means unstable.

Modal Analysis - Terminology & Concepts

… Mode Extraction Methods - Q-R damped

• A second mode extraction method that considers damping effects is the Q-R Damped method.

– Faster and more stable than the existing Damped Solver– Works with poorly conditioned models – All forms of damping allowed including damper elements – Combines the best features of the real eigensolution method (Block

Lanczos) and the Complex Hessenberg method (QR Algorithm) – Outputs complex eigenvalues ( frequency and stability) and damping

ratio of each mode– Supports the use of a material dependent damping ratio [MP,DMPR] in

a subsequent mode superposition harmonic analysis

Mode extraction options

• Method: Block Lanczos recommended for most applications.

• Number of modes: Must be specified (except Reduced method).

• Frequency range: Defaults to entire range, but can be limited to a desired range (FREQB to FREQE). Specification of a frequency range requires additional factorizations and it is typically faster to simply request a number of modes which will overlap the desired range.

• Normalization: Discussed next.

Normalization of mode shapes:

• Only the shape of the DOF solution has real meaning. It is therefore customary to normalize them for numerical efficiency or user convenience.

• Modes are normalized either to the mass matrix or to a unit matrix (unity).

– Normalization to mass matrix is the default, and is required for a spectrum analysis or if a subsequent mode superposition analysis is planned.

– Choose normalization to unity when you want to easily compare relative values of displacements throughout the structure.

• Modes normalized to unity cannot be used in subsequent mode superposition analyses (transient, harmonic, spectrum or random vibration)

Participation Factors:

• Calculated for each mode in global translation and rotation directions

• High value in a direction indicates that the mode will be excited by forces in that direction

• Values are relative based on a unit displacement spectrum

• The final participation factor value (ROTZ) can be retrieved into a parameter using *GET command. A spectrum analysis with a specified direction (SED,0,1,0) could be used to obtain other values

• Also printed out (to the output file) is the effective mass. Ideally the sum of the effective masses in each direction should equal total mass of structure

• Effective Mass = (participation factor)2
