Vibration Basics

The document discusses the vibration analysis of a mechanical system. It begins by defining the equation of motion and proposing a harmonic solution. This leads to an eigenvalue problem that determines the natural frequencies of vibration. The problem is then transformed into a symmetric eigenvalue problem by normalizing the mass matrix. This yields orthogonal eigenvectors that represent the mode shapes of vibration. The solution can then be decoupled into independent modal coordinates that are transformed back to the physical coordinates using the modal matrix.
