SUMMARYA new eigensolution reanalysis method for modified structures is developed and presented based on the usual first-order perturbation scheme and the Rayleigh quotients. By this method, the accuracies of the eigensolutions of the modified structures computed by perturbation methods are improved. A numerical example is presented and the accuracies of the usual first-order perturbation method, second-order perturbation method, William B. Bickford method and the proposed method are compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
