Equation (2.25) has a nontrivial solution if and only if the coefficient matrix ([K] − ω2[M]) is singular, that is the determinant of this coefficient matrix is zero,
Equation (2.26) is called the characteristic equation (or characteristic polynomial) which leads to a polynomial of order n in ω2. The roots of this polynomial, denoted as
Note that
Since the system of equations represented by Eq. (2.27) is homogeneous, the mode shape is not unique. However, if
Solving Eq. (2.27) and replacing it into Eq. (2.24), we obtain a set of n linearly independent solutions qi = Ai exp{jωi t} of Eq. (2.23). Thus, the total solution can be expressed as a linear combination of them,
where βi are arbitrary constants which can be determined from initial conditions [usually with initial displacements and velocities q(t = 0) and
Example 2.5
It is illustrative to consider an example of a two‐degree‐of‐freedom system, as the one shown in Figure 2.11, because its analysis can easily be extrapolated to systems with many degrees of freedom.
Solution
The two‐coordinates x1 and x2 uniquely define the position of the system illustrated in Figure 2.11 if it is constrained to move in the x‐direction. The equations of motion of the system are:
and
(2.29b)
We observe that the equations of motion are coupled, that is to say the motion x1 is influenced by the motion x2 and vice versa. Equation (2.29) can be written in matrix form as
(2.30)
where q =
Equation (2.26) gives the characteristic equation
For simplicity, consider the situation where m1 = m2 = m and k1 = k2 = k. Then, Eq. (2.31) becomes
Solving Eq. (2.32) gives the natural frequencies of the system as
