Problem 2: Dampened and Undamped System

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

Given

1.Draw the FBDs of all components in the spring-mass-damper system on p.53-13, with the known disp dofs being at the left and right supports:

 

 


2. Derive (1) p.53-12, and (1)-(3) p. 53-13.

Solution

Free Body Diagrams (Question 1)

edit
 
Dampened:Spring-damper-body free body
 
Undamped:Spring-body free body

The free body diagrams for a dampened system and undamped system can be seen to the right.

Solving the System (Question 2)

edit

DAMPENED

edit

Analyzing the forces on mass one, we obtain:

 
 

Analyzing the forces on mass two, we obtain:

 
 


Plugging equations into matrix form we obtain:

 \

Notice how this form matches each matrix given in the problem statement. Plugging in the original yields and proves the following equation of motion for an undamped system:
