I have analyze two similar structure in SAP2000. Eigen value of one structure is more then other. What it actually means of when eigen value is increased ?
The eigen functions represent stationary states of the system i.e. the system can achieve that state under certain conditions and eigenvalues represent the value of that property of the system in that stationary state.
Geometrically, an eigenvector, corresponding to a real non-zero eigenvalue, points in a direction in which it is stretched by the transformation and the eigenvalue is the factor by which it is stretched. If the eigenvalue is negative, the direction is reversed.
