Orthogonality of Modes of Structures When Using the Exact Transcendental Stiffness Matrix Method

This paper presents theory, physical insight and results for mode orthogonality of piecewise continuous structures, including both coincident and non-coincident natural frequencies. The structures are ones for which exact member equations have been obtained by solving the governing differential equa...
