This document outlines topics related to linear oscillators with multiple degrees of freedom including equations of motion, free and forced undamped vibrations, effects of structure and parameter changes, and damped vibrations. Section 6.2 discusses mass, spring and compliance matrices and examples. Section 6.3 covers natural frequencies, mode shapes, orthogonality, modal coordinates and examples for free undamped vibrations. Section 6.4 examines sensitivity of natural frequencies and mode shapes to changes, reduction of degrees of freedom, and examples.
