Two-degree-of-freedom systems
For mass 1,
m1u1 + f1S (t ) + f1D (t ) = p1 (t )
For mass 2,
m2u2 + f 2 S (t ) + f 2 D (t ) = p2 (t )
f 2 S (t ) = k2 (u2 − u1 )
f 2 D (t ) = c2 (u2 − u1 )
So
m1u1 + c1u1 + c2 (u1 − u2 ) + k1u1 + k2 (u1 − u2 ) = p1 (t )
In matrix form:
+ cu + ku = p(t )

Two-storey building:
• Consider an idealized two-storey frame subjected to external
forces p1(t) and p2(t). The beams and floors are idealized to
be rigid (infinitely stiff) in flexure, and the mass is idealized
as concentrated at the floor levels.

• The elastic force fS1 at the first floor is made up of two
a
contributions: f S1 from the storey above, and f Sb1 from
the storey below. Thus
m1u1 + f D1 + f S1 = p1 (t )
m2u2 + f D 2 + f S 2 = p2 (t )

The stiffness matrix is non-diagonal, implying that the
two equations are coupled, and in their present form
must be solved simultaneously.

Example 3:
Formulate the equations of motion for the N-storey shear
frame subjected to ground excitation ys (t ) .
Solution:
The absolute displacement of the ith floor is yi and the relative
displacement of the ith floor relative to the base is ui. There is
relation
ui = yi − ys (i = 1, 2,, N )
where ys is the ground excitation motion.
m2 y2 + c2 ( y 2 − y1 ) + k2 ( y2 − y1 ) + c3 ( y 2 − y 3 ) + k3 ( y2 − y3 ) = 0
m j y j + c j ( y j − y j −1 ) + k j ( y j − y j −1 ) + c j +1 ( y j − y j +1 ) + k j +1 ( y j − y j +1 ) = 0
mN yN + c N ( y N − y N −1 ) + k N ( y N − y N −1 ) = 0
Because yi = ui + ys, we have
m j (uj + ys ) + c j (u j − u j −1 ) + k j (u j − u j −1 ) + c j +1 (u j − u j +1 ) + k j +1 (u j − u j +1 ) = 0
mN (uN + ys ) + cN (u N − u N −1 ) + k N (u N − u N −1 ) = 0

− 2 [ M ]{a}sin(t − ) + [ K ]{a}sin(t − ) = 0
(−2 [ M ] + [ K ]){a}sin(t − ) = 0
([ K ] − 2 [ M ]){a} = 0
This is a set of n linear equations with n unknown displacements
aj and an unknown parameter 2. It is called eigenproblem. Its
nontrivial solution, that is, the solution for which not all aj = 0,
requires that the determinant of the matrix factor of {a} be
equal to zero:
[ K ] − 2 [ M ] = 0

The equations of the system:
m1 y1 + k1 y1 − k2 ( y2 − y1 ) = 0
m2 y2 + k2 ( y2 − y1 ) = 0
Let
y1 = a1 sin(t − )
y2 = a2 sin(t − )
we have
y1 = −a12 sin(t − )
𝑘1 + 𝑘2 − 𝑚1 𝜔2 −𝑘2 𝑎1 0

−𝑘2 𝑘2 − 𝑚2 𝜔2 𝑎2 0
For a nontrivial solution, we require the determinant of the
coefficient matrix to be equal to zero, i.e.,
k1 + k2 − m12 − k2

− k2 k2 − m12
f1 = 1 / 2 = 1.88 Hz f 2 = 2 / 2 = 5.24 Hz
and the corresponding natural periods
T1 = 1 / f1 = 0.532 sec T2 = 1 / f 2 = 0.191 sec
With the obtained values of , we can solve the eigen-equations
to calculate the amplitudes a1 and a2. Since the determinant is
equal to zero, the number of independent equations is one less.
Thus in the present case, the system of two equations is
reduced to one independent equation. Considering the first
eigen-equation and substituting 1 = 11.8 rad/sec, we obtain
55,960a11 − 44,300a21 = 0
Here we have introduced a second subindex in a1 and a2 to
correspond to 1. Thus the normal mode or modal shape
corresponding to the first natural frequency is
a21
= 1.263
a11
It is customary to describe the normal modes by assigning a
unit value to one of the amplitudes. For example we set a11
equal to unity so that
0 for i j
{a}Ti [ K ]{a} j =
K j for i = j
Because
([ K ] − 2 [ M ]){a} = 0
So
[ K ]{a} = 2 [ M ]{a}
{a}Tj [ K ]{a} j
2j =
{a}Tj [ M ]{a} j
Normalization of modal shapes:
0 for i j
{}Ti [ K ]{} j = 2
j for i = j
The orthogonality conditions can also be expressed as:
[Φ ]T [ M ][Φ ] = [ I ] [Φ ]T [ K ][Φ ] = [ Ω ]

[ Ω] = 0 2

Consequently, the normalized modes are:
Thus

Example 6:
Use Rayleigh’s quotient to calculate an approximate value
of the fundamental frequency of the 2-storey shear frame
illustrated in Example 4 by assuming the approximate
modal shape of the first mode {a}1T = 1.00 1.50 .
