QUESTION 1
Consider a freedom model that can be used to study the vibratory motion of a coupled rectangular vibration system shown in Figure Q1. The two uniform rigid bars are of equal length but have different masses.
Figure Q1
Use the Lagrange method to establish the differential equation of motion for the system using the following formula:
(10)
Assuming the solution of the differential equation is of the form:
W(t) = Acos(wt) + Bsin(wt)
Find the natural frequencies (w) and develop the state-space model. Also, find the stiffness matrix (K) and the mass matrix (M) obtained from the equation given by:
0.36
50.884 50.884
Determine:
- The normalized stiffness (K)
- The natural frequencies (w) of the system in Hz for the value considered above: 1.6
- Its eigenvalues and eigenvectors
- The modal mass matrix (M) with the diagonalized matrix A
