Abstract

When assembling Frequency Response Functions (FRF) from substructures to build a model of a complex system spurious peaks appear in the assembled FRF. Such mechanically inconsistent peaks appear in substructures for which the FRFs are affected by even very small measurement errors. In this paper we propose a simple algebraic analysis of the assembled matrices and point out that spurious peaks can arise at frequencies in the vicinity of local eigenfrequencies of the substructures. In addition we indicate that for local eigenfrequencies the assembly process should in theory make use a pseudo-inverse of the impedance matrices and one should enforce a complementary self-equilibrium condition.
