      Assignment of natural frequencies by an added mass and one or more springs 

      Kyprianou, Andreas; Mottershead, J. E.; Ouyang, H. (2004)
      The problem of assigning natural frequencies to a multi-degree-of-freedom undamped system by an added mass connected by one or more springs is addressed. The added mass and stiffnesses are determined using receptances from ...

      An inverse method to assign receptances by using classical vibration absorbers 

      Zhu, J.; Mottershead, J. E.; Kyprianou, Andreas (2009)
      The classical mass-spring absorber can be thought of as a very simple structural modification. In this paper the inverse problem of assigning receptances to a dynamic system by using one or more simple mass-spring absorbers ...

      Structural modification. Part 1: Rotational receptances 

      Mottershead, J. E.; Kyprianou, Andreas; Ouyang, H. (2005)
      The inverse problem of assigning natural frequencies and antiresonances by a modification to the stiffness, mass and damping of a structure is addressed. Very simple modifications such as the addition of masses and grounded ...
