A surface stiffness modification offers various options to affect the stiffness of surfaces.
Modification Type
The surface stiffnesses can be modified in various ways:
- Total stiffnesses: All elements of the stiffness matrix are uniformly multiplied by the factor "k".
- Partial stiffnesses, weights, and masses: The elements of the stiffness matrix and the weight can be modified by specific factors.
- Stiffness matrix elements: Each element of the stiffness matrix can be influenced by a factor.
Settings
For US and Canadian standards, there are some modification options to apply stiffness factors in compliance with the standards.
