Linear Dynamic Analysis Examples Using a Realistic Model

Analysis Model

For linear dynamic analysis, the mechanical component shown in Figure 9.3.1 is used as a realistic model. Four verification cases with different loading conditions and damping coefficients are defined for this realistic model. These cases are listed in Table 9.3.1.
