These equations can be used to transform the equations of motion from a coupled set of equations to an uncoupled set.

Mass Orthonormal Mode Shapes
If the mode shapes are orthonormal to the mass matrix, then the following relationships hold (reference Module 5: Natural Frequency Analysis).
IMT I is the identity matrix

Physical Significance
If a force is applied at the end of a cantilevered beam, it has a large affect in exciting the first mode because the mode shape has a large value at this point.
If a force is applied at the point of zero displacement in the second mode, the force does not excite the second mode because the mode shape value at this point is zero.
The physical significance of the modal participation factors is best illustrated using an example.

Integration
Each of the equations can be integrated separately to determine the variation of the coefficient as a function of time.
Once all of the equations have been integrated, the response of the total system can be obtained from the linear superposition equation

Practical Systems
The development up to this point has used all n-degrees of freedom of the system.
It is generally only necessary to include the response of a small subset of the total number of modes to accurately compute the response of the system.
The frequency content of the applied load and the points on the structure where loading is applied, play a large role in determining how many modes should be considered in determining the response.
It is not necessary to include mode shapes having natural frequencies that are significantly higher than the highest frequency in the excitation forces.

Damping
Damping was omitted in the preceding development but can be included.
Damping can be attributed to a variety of material properties (viscoelastic materials have good damping properties) or displacement dependent mechanisms (slipping of bolted joints).
Damping is difficult to quantify analytically and must be determined experimentally.
Damping is generally different for each mode and can be nonlinear (i.e. the more a structure deforms, the higher the damping).

Example – Time Step
The time step is based on the natural frequencies in the system and the frequency content of the input.
The input force causes bending about the weak axis and will only excite modes that have bending about the weak axis.
The natural frequency of the third weak axis bending mode was computed in Module 5 to be 592 Hz.
The period of this frequency is 0.00169 seconds.
8-10 time steps per smallest period is generally used as a time step.

Example – Restart Data
A modal superposition analysis uses natural frequency and mode shape data from a Natural Frequency Analysis.
The Design Scenario containing this information must be specified.
In this problem, the natural frequency analysis was performed in Design Scenario 2 that has been renamed to Nat Freq and Mode Shapes.

The response is dominated by the 1st bending mode.
This curve looks much smoother than the stress history curve. Why?
The stresses are based on strains that depend on the derivatives of the displacements.

Module Summary
The equations and theory used to perform a Modal Superposition Analysis of a linear system are presented.
Mode shapes form a basis and all solutions can be written in terms of them.
This results in a system of single degree of freedom equations that can be integrated separately.
The results from the individual modes are then combined to determine the total response.
Often, only a small subset of the total number of modes need to be used to obtain accurate results.
