2 DOF System

The data that describes our system and its loading,

$$\boldsymbol p(t) = p_0\,\begin{Bmatrix}0\\1\end{Bmatrix}\sin 2\omega_0\,t$$

In [2]:
M = np.array(((2.0, 0.0), ( 0.0, 1.0)))
K = np.array(((3.0,-2.0), (-2.0, 2.0)))
p = np.array(( 0.0, 1.0))
w = 2.0

Computing the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors

Using the eigh library function, specialized for Hermitian (symmetric) matrices.

We compute also the starred matrices.


In [3]:
evals, Psi = eigh(K, M)
Mstar = Psi.T@M@Psi
Kstar = Psi.T@K@Psi
pstar = Psi.T@p

The @ operator stands, in this context, for matrix multiplication.

We print the computed values.

The modal equation of motion, divided by $m$ $$ \ddot q_i + \Lambda^2_i\omega_0^2 q_i = \frac{p_0}{k}\frac{k}{m}\,p^\star_i \sin2\omega_0t.$$

The particular integral $\xi_i(t)$ is given by

$$\xi_i = \Delta_{st} \frac{\omega_0^2}{(\Lambda^2_i-4)\omega_0^2}p^\star_i\sin2\omega_0t.$$

Eventually the modal response, computed in the hypotesis of initial rest conditions is

$$q_i = \frac{\Delta_{st}}{\Lambda^2_i-4}p^\star_i(\sin2\omega_0t-\beta\sin\Lambda_i\omega_0t).$$

In [6]:
L  = np.sqrt(evals)
DAF = 1.0/(L**2-w**2)
beta = w/L
t = np.linspace(0,60,601)[:,None]
q = pstar*DAF*(np.sin(w*t)-beta*np.sin(L*t))

The definition of time vectoris a bit complicated...
