Abstract
Selectively tuning frequency modes of a structure, including: identifying, by a finite element analysis module, a plurality of frequency modes of the structure; and selectively altering, by the finite element analysis module, a target frequency mode a greater amount than the other frequency modes of the structure, including modifying a local attribute of a portion of the structure associated with the target frequency mode without modifying the attribute over the entire structure.
Claims7
A method of selectively tuning frequency modes of a structure, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a finite element analysis module, a plurality of frequency modes of the structure;
- and
- selectively altering, by the finite element analysis module, a target frequency mode a greater amount than the other frequency modes of the structure, including modifying a local attribute of a portion of the structure associated with the target frequency mode without modifying the attribute over the entire structure.
