Inverse Perturbation Method for Inverse Eigenvalue Problem Based on Finite Element Analysis

An inverse perturbation method is described for solving the general inverse eigenvalne problem. By taking the analysis of the rotor system as example based upon FEM,the new inverse perturbation method for structural design with specified low-order natural freqneneies or frequency constraint bands is detailed as well as its complete theoretical basis. Moreover, formulations to calculate the inverse perturbation parameter ε and method to select thecorresponding ε's value properly are also proposed. Theproposed method is characterized in reducing frequencyanalysis and suitable for large and small structural changesalike. Finally, several different numerical examples forinverse eigenvalue problem are discussed to illustrate themethod, which show that this inverse perturbation methotis general and can be applied to other type of structure orelement.
