Multiple Degree of Freedom Systems


Systems with more than one DOF:
Referred to as a Multiple Degree of Freedom
An NDOF system has N independent degrees of

freedom to describe the system

There is one natural frequency for every DOF in

the system description

Multiple Degree of Freedom Systems


Properties of a MDOF system:
Each natural frequency has a displacement

configuration referred to as a normal mode

Mathematical quantities referred to as

eigenvalues and eigenvectors are used to


describe the system characteristics

While the resulting motion appears more

complicated, the system set of equations can


always be decomposed into a set of equivalent
SDOF systems for each mode of the system.

For normal mode type of oscillation, we can write
x1 = A1 sin t or A1eit
x 2 = A 2 sin t or A 2eit

MDOF - Coordinate Coupling


Coordinate coupling exists in many problems.
Either static coupling, dynamic coupling or both
static and dynamic coupling can exist.
The equations of motion are:
m11&x&1 + m12 &x& 2 + k11x1 + k12 x 2 = 0

m 21&x&1 + m 22 &x& 2 + k 21x1 + k 22 x 2 = 0

(5.3.1)

and can be cast in matrix form as:


m11 m12 &x&1 k11 k12 x1 0

21 m 22 &x& 2 k 21 k 22 x 2 0

22.457 Mechanical Vibrations - Chapter 5

Dr. Peter Avitabile

(5.3.2)

MDOF - Coordinate Coupling


Coordinate coupling can be eliminated through a
transformation to a different coordinate system
wherein the independent variables are not coupling
either statically or dynamically.
These coordinates are referred to as
principal coordinates
or
normal coordinates

For systems with general damping, this is not
easily possible unless the damping is of a special
form or the system is first converted to the state
