PROBLEM 1: (20%)
Given the mass matrix and two undamped natural frequencies for a general two degree-of-freedom
system with a symmetric stiffness matrix,
find the stiffness matrix, modal mass and stiffness for each mode of vibration, and the modal vectors
(normalize the modal vectors so that the largest coefficient in each vector is of unity magnitude).
PROBLEM 2: (30%)
Calculate, plot (in MATLAB), and describe the response of the single story building below for the two
different blast excitations, f(t), shown. Assume M=100,000 kg, K=100 kN/m, C=1000 N-s/m, to=4 sec,
To=12 sec, and Fo=10 kN. What happens to the responses as to approaches zero?
PROBLEM 3 (30%)
Find and graph the frequency response function between the excitation, f(t), and the response, x(t), for
the system below. Compare these results qualitatively with the frequency response results for a standard
single degree-of-freedom viscously underdamped oscillator. What effect does the series damper-spring
have on the frequency response? This system is often used to model elastomer mounts and bushings.
PROBLEM 4: (20%)
Find and plot the approximate frequency response function of the single degree of freedom system
below that is subjected to Coulomb friction and a simple harmonic input, Ficos(t). Assume the
damping force, Nsgn(dx/dt), is small compared to the excitation amplitude, Fi, so that the steady state
response can be assumed to be harmonic at the excitation frequency. Recall that the energy dissipated
by Coulomb friction per cycle of harmonic oscillation at a frequency is 4NXp, where is the static
coefficient of friction, N is the normal force, and Xp is the steady state response amplitude at . Find the
analytical condition on the friction force such that this solution is valid.
