3. Determine the modal response (qn)

The general modal equation with damping is given by

P, Q, + R, Q! , + , Q, = ",# $%&'(
Where Mn, Kn and Pno are available and Cno is known in terms of ξS .

The solution of this equation comes from the solution of SDOF system with damping subjected to
harmonic dynamic load.

The general equation for modal response is

",#
Q, (() = (CS sin('() + DS cos('())
,

R, =
[(B/BC )\
[(B/BC )\ \ ]( ξB/BC )\
Where

' is the frequency of the harmonic dynamic load

The diagonal matrix for mass, stiffness and dynamic load is

[M] = [∅]T[m][ ∅]

[K] = [∅]T[k][ ∅]

[P] = [∅]T[p]

In the above, the stiffness matrix is not in diagonal matrix. It must be changed to diagonal matrix by
multiplying using modal shape matrix.
