✦ Synopsis
In this paper, a solution method is presented to solve the eigenproblem arising in the dynamic analysis of non-proportional damping systems with symmetric matrices. The method is based on the Lanczos method to generate one pair of Krylov subspaces consisting of trial vectors, which is then used to reduce a large eigenvalue problem into a much smaller one. The method retains the n order quadratic eigenproblem, without employing the method of matrix augmentation traditionally used to cast the problem as a linear eigenproblem of order 2n. In this process, the method preserves the sparseness and symmetry of the system matrices and does not invoke complex arithmetic; thus making it very economical for use in solving large problems. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
