Abstract:
A familiar but undervalued theorem is presented, with applications. The theorem is that for positive-definite systems, the eigenvalues are bounded by the extreme element eigenvalues, and also by the extreme eigenvalues of infinitesimal elements. Familiar applications are to the relative stiffnesses of different formulations of the same element, to a roundoff criterion, and to the stability of elastoplastic solutions. Less familiar applications are to the noise dissipation and possible instability of first order marching solutions, and to the instability of creep solutions.
