Problem 4.1

edit
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

edit

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

edit

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
