In many practical engineering problems, the derived mathematical equations frequently end up in the formulation of some kind of eigenvalue problem.
Practical examples for the usage of eigenproblems include principal component analysis, rigid bodies principal axes and tensor of moment of inertia calculation, stress tensor calculation, stability analysis, vibration analysis, matrix diagonalization and other problems.
A typical example of the utilisation of the eigenvalue problem in practical engineering, is the caclulation of the fundamental frequencies and modes of a...
