Dynamic Response of MDOF

The document discusses the dynamic response of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures, specifically focusing on a 2-DOF system with identical mass and stiffness. It outlines the process for solving coupled equations of motion, emphasizing the need for a non-trivial solution and the significance of natural frequencies. Additionally, it covers methods for uncoupling equations of motion and the orthogonality properties of modeshapes in the context of structural dynamics.

Dynamic Response of

MDOF Structures
Example: 2-DOF, identical mass & stiffness
Free vibration

p1 (t )  0
p2 (t )  0

How do we solve this set of coupled equations?


By observation, the solution should be harmonic.

ui (t )  f (sin( wt ),cos( wt ))
ui (t )   w ui (t )
&& 2

Substituting into the equations of motion:

Need to find non-trivial solution  coefficient matrix has to be singular
