For the last week or so I have been working my way through Chapter 3 The Solution of Nonlinear Equations found in the textbook “Numerical Analysis: An Algorithmic Approach” by S. D. Conte and Carl de Boor. I also used some C source code from “A Numerical Library in C for Scientists and Engineers” by H. T. Lau, PhD. I implemented twenty examples and exercises from the previously mentioned chapter.

Undamped Mass-Spring Eigenvalue – Eigenvector Problem by James Pate Williams, Jr. (c) Monday April 1, 2024

We extend the results of the following website:

The five masses in the problem have a maximum value of 8. The six springs have a maximum value of 4 for their Hooke’s coefficients. The first 5 by 5 matrix is the inverse mass matrix, the second matrix is the Hooke’s coefficient 5 by 5 matrix, the third 5 by 5 matrix is the product of the inverse mass matrix times the Hooke’s coefficient matrix. The final row vector is the eigenvalue vector.
