 Multi Degree of Freedom System (MDOF
System)
• Very often, we have to use more than one
displacement to describe a system for its
dynamic response, which is defined as MDOF
system.
• For example, a three-story shear-type frame
has its majority of masses lumped at floor
levels.
Reorganize them and put into a matrix form for compactness:

Where

= Acceleration = Displacement = Velocity

vector vector vector

= Load = Mass matrix

vector

= Damping = Stiffness
matrix matrix
 Observation from [M], [C], and [K]

• Mass matrix is a diagonal matrix with mi on the diagonal and

zeros off diagonal. This is true for all lumped MDOF
systems.

• Damping and stiffness matrices are symmetric; but have

non-zero off-diagonal terms which means that the
movement of one mass affects another mass’s movement.
They are coupled.

• [M], [C], and [K] are the properties of the system and have
nothing to do with loading. Similar to the SDOF system
whose equation of motion is given in Eq. compare:

Free vibration of MDOF and modal Properties
Free vibration can give the inside of a MDOF.

When, and undamped system

Recall that free vibration of SDOF is a harmonic motion,
