Outline
This chapter treats general forced response, which is the response of a system
having 2 degree of freedom when subjected to many other types of forcing
functions such as step and ramp inputs, other than pure sine and cosine functions.

Introduction
We have considered only models that have one degree of freedom (1DOF)
In most practical applications, more degrees of freedom system require to describe
important features of system response
Modes : critical to understanding the response of multi-degree of freedom system
Equation of motion for multi-DOF system :
Newton’s law of motion based on force concept
Lagrange’s equation based on energy concept

Models of 2-DOF Systems
How to use Newton’s laws of motion to obtain the equation of motion for 2-DOF system
Example : Vibration Absorber
Obtain equation of motion for system
Assume x2 x
Spring force : k2 ( x2 x)
Equation of motion :
mx F mx f k2 ( x2 x) kx
m2 x2 F m2 x2 k2 ( x2 x)
Obtain transfer function
Apply Laplace transform with zero initial condition :
(ms 2 k k2 ) X ( s) k2 X 2 ( s) F ( s) ms 2 k k2 k2 X ( s) F ( s)
k2 X ( s) (m2 s 2 k2 ) X 2 ( s) 0 k2 m2 s 2 k2 X 2 ( s) 0
Two unknowns : X (s), X 2 (s)
