Model a given real system to an equivalent simplified two degree system and studying
its free vibration and forced vibration response with suitable assumptions /
idealisations.
Calculate the natural frequency vibration and the amplitude of vibration for the give
excitation force of given two degree freedom system.
A simplified two degree of freedom system is shown in Fig 3. The motion of the
system is completely described by the coordinates and x1(t) and x2 (t) which defines the
positions of the masses m1 and m2 at any time t from the respective equilibrium positions. The
external F1 (t) and F2(t) respectively. The free-body diagrams of the masses and are shown in
Fig. 1(b).

excitations with the same frequency and phase angle but with different amplitudes and are
given by,

When harmonic forcing function acts on the system, the solution consist of transient part and
the steady state part. In steady state part the vibration of any point in the system take place
at the frequency of excitation. Let us assume , for the steady state , the solution as,
x1 X1 sin(t ) and x2 X 2 sin(t )

The above two equations give the steady state amplitude of vibration of two masses
respectively as a function of forcing frequency .
Lets try to understand these equations by doing a few simple simulations, go to next tab
procedure to find out how to run the simulation to EXPLORE (expR) and to EXPERIMENT
(expT). A talking tutorial or a self-running demo with narration can be seen at EXPLAIN
