#13064, Single and Multiple Degree of Freedom Theory
The field of Modal Analysis continues to evolve and mature. In order to allow new or young engineers in the modal field to extract meaningful information from paper presentations at the IMAC Conference, a program has been developed to familiarize the new/ young engineer with some of the very basic material related to modal analysis. Held on the first day of the conference, the Basics of Modal Analysis lecture sessions are geared towards those individuals who have very limited or no experience in the modal field or need a refresher on some of the basic modal nomenclature. This lecture covers fundamental single degree of freedom theory and multiple degree of freedom theory. Most vibration problems can be solved by understanding how a single degree of freedom oscillator behaves. Understanding the Modal transformation that comes from multiple degree of freedom theory allows us to just reduce a complicated system down to just a series of single degree of freedom oscillators.
