Vibration of M.D.O.F system
Observation 1: Finding natural frequencies and mode shapes
- Take n storey structure.
- Input mass and stiffness of each storey
- Run the experiment. User can see eigen values (natural frequencies) and eigen vectors (mode shapes).
- Use may note the eigen vectors and check for modal orthogonality.
Observation 2: Find the response of the structure to given ground motion.
- Take n storey structure.
- Input mass and stiffness of each storey.
- Select ground motion and also damping.
- Run the experiment. User can find the response of the each floor level on the screen. User can also find the response of each mode.
