they fell within a small distance from each other.
A more generalized mean eigenvalue objective
function has been considered by Ma et al. (1995).
For example considering the harmonic mean of
the first two eigenvalues, we can define the fol-
lowing objective function
all of its components being zero except for its i -th
component which is 1.
Due to this perturbation, the stiffness and mass
matrices will change to

Using this objective function in example 2
results in a smooth increase for the first two ei-
genvalues. Figure 6 shows the final solution and

It is also possible to solve the multimodal eigen-
frequency optimization problems directly. Using
a perturbation technique, Bratus and Seyranian
(1983) calculated the sensitivities of multiple
eigenvalues. Here we follow Seyranian et al.
(1994) and Lund (1994) to present the sensitivity
analysis of multiple eigenfrequencies.
Assume an m -fold multiple eigenvalue
where μ j and ν j are the unknown sensitivities
of the multiple eigenvalues and eigenvectors
respectively. o ( ε ) indicates higher order terms.
Note that μ j μ j ( x , ∆ x i ) and ν j ν j ( x , ∆ x i ), i.e. the
sensitivities depend on ∆ x i .
Using the perturbed values of Eqs. (1.36),
(1.37), and (1.38) in the main eigenvalue problem,
after ignoring the higher terms, one obtains

Due to multiplicity, any linear combination
of the corresponding eigenvectors will satisfy
the main eigenvalue problem j = λ j j . Now
assume the following linear combination
