A Free damped vibration of a system of 2 dof, demostration

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving differential equations for a two-degree-of-freedom system, specifically in the context of free damped vibrations. Participants suggest using eigenvalues and eigenvectors as potential methods for solving these equations. Recommendations include consulting the Berkley course volume on waves and a specific document that addresses damped vibrations in detail. The importance of referencing established literature, such as Crawford's work, is emphasized for deeper understanding. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for reliable resources to tackle the complexities of damped mechanical vibrations.

Hi,I need help please, i want to know how to solve de differential equation of a system of two degree of freedom using eigenvalues or eigenvectors or if I can use any another way to solve this kind of equations.

Have you tried to google the topic? Or even look it up in a book?
The volume on waves from the famous Berkley course (volume 3 of 5) has an excellent discussion of these topics.
Look up Waves by Crawford, for the reference.

mmm thanks for the info, I'm going to check, but I meant to mechanical vibrations theme: Free damped two degrees of freedom vibration
 
The damping is what bothers you, then?
How about this document? In the second part it discuss the damped case.

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
