Abstract

Linear undamped gyroscopic systems are defined by three real matrices, M0,K0, and G(G^T=-G); the mass, stiffness, and gyroscopic matrices, respectively. In this paper an inverse problem is considered: given complete information about eigenvalues and eigenvectors, @L=diag{@l"1,@l"2,...,@l"2"n"-"1,@l"2"n}@?C^2^n^x^2^n and X=[x"1,x"2,...,x"2"n"-"1,x"2"n]@?C^n^x^2^n, where the diagonal elements of @L are all purely imaginary, X is of full row rank n, and both @L and X are closed under complex conjugation in the sense that @l"2"j=@l@?"2"j"-"1@?C,x"2"j=x@?"2"j"-"1@?C^n for j=1,...,n, find M,K and G such that MX@L^2+GX@L+KX=0. The solvability condition for the inverse problem and a solution to the problem are presented, and the results of the inverse problem are applied to develop a method for model updating.
