Suppose that it is required to find what effects some local modification would have on the vibration characteristics of a structure if a portion is to be replaced. It is shown how, in theory at least, the modified characteristics can be found from a knowledge of those relating to the whole of the original structure and those relating only to the unit which is to be inserted.
