The diagram below represents a three degree of freedom system, with the following equation of motion:
Where is the mass matrix and
is the stiffness matrix.
Assume that kg,
kg,
N/m,
N/m and
N/m.
What line(s) of MATLAB code can be used to calculate the eigenvalues and mode shapes of the system from the mass and stiffness matrix?
Hint: The output must be a diagonal matrix, , containing the eigenvalues and an orthogonal matrix,
, holding the mode shapes in its columns. There may be more than one correct answer.
