Derivatives of Complex Eigenvectors Using Nelson's Method

Abstract
E the eigenvector derivativesM, D, K = mass, damping, and stiffness matricess i = system eigenvaluesu , v = left and right system eigenvectorsx i , y i = vectors used to calculate the eigenvector derivativesh = system parameter{} e = eth element of a vectorIntroductionTHE calculation of derivatives of natural frequencies and modeshapes with respect to model parameters is vital for designoptimization, model updating, fault detection, and many otherapplications.1,2The...
