MDOF System Modal Analysis Methods

1) Modal analysis is commonly used to analyze multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems by transforming the coupled equations of motion into a set of uncoupled single-degree-of-freedom equations. 2) Standard solutions for single-degree-of-freedom systems can then be applied to solve each uncoupled equation. 3) Direct integration methods like the constant acceleration method and Newmark's method can also be used to solve the coupled equations of motion through numerical integration without uncoupling.

Standard solutions of SDOF Systems
„ The n-SDOF uncoupled eqns in generalized coordinates can
be solved using standard solutions for SDOF system in closed
form or numerically. Simply replace u(t) to q(t)
„ Example:
