Problem 1 edit

On our honor, we did this assignment on our own, without looking at the solutions in previous semesters or other online solutions.

Find edit

Find the eigenvector x2 corresponding to the eigenvalue λ2 for the spring-mass-damper system on p. 53-13. Plot and comment on this mode shape. Verify that the eigenvectors are orthogonal to each other.

Given edit

The spring-mass-damper system shown on p. 53-13.

Solution edit

I=identity matrix

Need to find an eigenvector where

 

By solving this matrix, and setting x1=1, then two equations are created.

k1+k22-k2x2=0

and

-k2+(k2+k32)x2=0

Therefore,

x2=(γ2-k1)/(k32)

Two eigenvectors are orthogonal if their dot product is 0.

The dot product of x1 and x2 however is not 0, therefore they are not orthogonal.

Problem 2 edit

On our honor, we did this assignment on our own, without looking at the solutions in previous semesters or other online solutions.

Find edit

Find, plot and compare the eigenvectors.

Problem 3 edit

On our honor, we did this assignment on our own, without looking at the solutions in previous semesters or other online solutions.

Find edit

Discuss the computational efficiency of Method 1 (root sum squared method) vs. Method 2 (transformation matrix method)

Solution edit

The root sum square method is less useful than the transformation matrix method because the Transformation Matrix method can be used for all other elements where as the root sum square method can be used only for the bar elements as stated in MTG 23.

The overall forces in Method 1 are found by summing the squares of each component (x,y,z) and then taking the square root of that sum for the overall force and direction of the 2D or 3D system.

Both methods use the relation that F=kd but method two goes through more steps to allow a better way for finding the stresses in each element together instead of individually.

In the end both methods will give the same answer but Method 2 is more useful when more elements are involved.
