Problem

The given cantilevered beam (l=0.8m) has a quadratic cross section (a=0.01m) with E=2.1\times 10^{11}N/m^2, \nu=0.3, \rho=7850kg/m^3. It is discretized using the Finite Element Method and excited at the tip with F=1 N and of varying circular frequency (\Omega=\frac{s}{\mathrm{i}} ).

We now include Rayleigh damping ($\mathbf{C}=\alpha\mathbf{M} + \beta\mathbf{K}$) with coefficients \alpha=1.64 1/s, \beta=4.1 e-6 s.

Solution

We choose s_{1,2}=1860i \frac{\text{rad}}{\text{s}},\ s_{3,4}=8000\frac{\text{rad}}{\text{s}}. The expansion points lie between two poles of the transfer function.

It can be seen how IRKA iterates towards the desired result.
