Problem #8: A system of differential equations can be created for two masses connected by springs between one another, and connected to opposing walls. The dependent variables form a 4x1 vector y consisting of the displacement and velocity of each of the two masses. For the system y' = Ay, the matrix A is given by: To 0 -5 3 0 0 3 -5 1 0 -4 0 0 1 0 -4 Because the system oscillates, there will be complex...
Homework 7: Undamped, 2-DOF System 1. A system with two masses of which the origins are at the SEPs is shown in Figure 1. The mass of m2 is acted by the external force of f(t).

This time, you are asked to analyze the time dependent behavior of two masses (m, and m.) connected by a massless spring. You may assume that the spring is linear, has a spring constant k and a free length of L. That is if the spring is stretched to length L' > Lit exerts a compressive force of magnitude (L' L). However, if compressed, ie., L' <Lit exerts an expansion force of magnitude (L-1). In Newtonian Mechanics, motion of the...
