“…where M is the structural matrix of the system, and is due to the 12 different patterns, F is a block vector with blocks labelled by pattern type and elements of the blocks labelled by m. e is a block vector consisting of the identity matrix if m = 0, and zero elsewhere. In the present case the matrix M is a complex and non-symmetric block matrix, but it can be transformed to a real symmetric matrix as was done and discussed in detail in previous studies [17,19,20]. As a result, following the same way of symmetrization, equation ( 13) takes the form…”
