2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define Multi-Degree-of-Freedom (MDOF) systems.
Focus on the number of motion directions.
What represents the mass matrix in MDOF systems?
Think about the weights involved in the structure.
What does MDOF stand for?
Focus on the degrees of freedom in the system.
True or False: MDOF systems cannot be represented in matrix form.
Review how complicated systems are structured.
Analyze a provided MDOF system with 3 degrees of freedom. Sketch the mass and stiffness matrices based on given parameters.
Use your understanding of mass and stiffness within the system layout.
Given a known external force is applied, compute the resultant displacements using the formed matrix equation: [M]{X}'' + [K]{X} = {F(t)}.
Apply matrix operations carefully to isolate {X}.
