In what way a system can be called a multiple degrees of freedom system?
Multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) systems are defined as those requiring two or more coordinates to describe their motion. This excludes continuous systems, which theoretically have an infinite number of freedoms.
What is natural frequency and mode shape?
i.e., the system vibrates harmonically, at the second natural frequency. The special initial displacements of a system that cause it to vibrate harmonically are called `mode shapes’ for the system. If a system has several natural frequencies, there is a corresponding mode of vibration for each natural frequency.
How many degrees of freedom does a mass spring/damper system have?
A three degree-of-freedom mass-spring system (consisting of three identical masses connected between four identical springs) has three distinct natural modes of oscillation.

How many differential equations are written for two degree freedom system?
two equations
For a two degree of freedom system there are two equations of motion, each one describing the motion of one of the degrees of freedom.
What is mode and mode shapes?
A mode shape is the deformation that the component would show when vibrating at the natural frequency. The terms mode shape or natural vibration shape are used in structural dynamics. A mode shape describes the deformation that the component would show when vibrating at the natural frequency.
What does mode shape represent?
A mode shape is a deflection pattern related to a particular natural frequency and represents the relative displacement of all parts of a structure for that particular mode.
How many natural frequencies does a two degree of freedom system have?
two different natural frequencies
A two degree of freedom system has two different natural frequencies whose values depend on the rela- tive magnitude of the two masses and the two springs.
How does mass affect natural frequency?
In the example of the mass and beam, the natural frequency is determined by two factors: the amount of mass, and the stiffness of the beam, which acts as a spring. A higher mass and/or a softer beam lower the natural frequency (see figure 3). Figure 3. A stiffer spring increases natural frequency (left).
What are frequency modes?
A mode of vibration is characterized by a modal frequency and a mode shape. It is numbered according to the number of half waves in the vibration. For example, if a vibrating beam with both ends pinned displayed a mode shape of half of a sine wave (one peak on the vibrating beam) it would be vibrating in mode 1.
