Abstract
Thus far, the theory of vibration of damped and undamped single degree of freedom systems was considered. Both free and forced motions of such systems were discussed and the governing differential equations and their solutions were obtained. Basic concepts and definitions, which are fundamental in understanding the vibration of single degree of freedom systems, were introduced. It is the purpose of this chapter to generalize the analytical development presented in the preceding chapters to the case in which the systems have more than one degree of freedom. In this chapter, we will study the free and forced vibrations of both damped and undamped two degree of freedom systems.
