Problem 4.1

On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid in doing this assignment. 

Given

Mode Shape for system. Mode slope increases and crosses into the positive region

Spring-damper-body arrangement as shown. Two separate forces applied to masses.
















γ γ





Find

Find the eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue for the spring-mass-damper system on p.53-113. Plot and comment on this mode shape. Verify that the eigenvectors are orthogonal to each other

Solution

Eigenvalues are found



We find the eigenvectors from







Set








Eigenvectors are orthogonal to each other:

EDU>> x= [-.8507;-.5257];
EDU>> y= [-.5257;.8507];
EDU>> transpose(y)*x
ans = 0

Find

Mode Shape for system. Notice plot is the same even with different initial conditions

Find the eigenvectors for and when setting


Solution

We find the eigenvectors from







Set











We find the eigenvectors from
