How to solve Multiple DOF Mass Spring Damper system and find/plot acceleration, velocity & displacement vs time
Show older comments
I know to solve 1 DOF system but i dont know to solve multiple DOF (Matrix will come instead of single value);
Also how to find acceleration?


I am getting absurd/wrong values. Kindly correct the code
Function Code :-
% ODE Function
function dxdt = Ransom(t, x, M, K, C)
m1 = 25.81;m2 = 15.36; m3 = 40.35; m4 = 10.12;
c1 = 3564; c2 = 5685; c3 = 8550; c4 = 620;
k1 = 950000; k2 = 262800; k3 = 213000; k4 = 450000;
w = 50; F = 5;
M = [m1 0 0 0; 0 m2 0 0; 0 0 m3 0; 0 0 0 m4];
C = [c1+c2 -c2 0 0; -c2 c2+c3 -c3 0; 0 -c3 c3+c4 -c4; 0 0 -c4 c4];
K = [k1+k2 -k2 0 0; -k2 k2+k3 -k3 0; 0 -k3 k3+k4 -k4; 0 0 -k4 k4];
dxdt = zeros(8, 1) ;
dxdt(1) = x(5) ;
dxdt(2) = x(6) ;
dxdt(3) = x(7) ;
dxdt(4) = x(8) ;
dxdt(5) = 5*sin(w*t) -K(1)/M(1) * x(1) - K(2)/M(1) * x(2) -C(1)/M(1) * x(5) - C(2)/M(1) * x(6) ;
dxdt(6) = -K(5)/M(6) * x(1) - K(6)/M(6) * x(2) - K(7)/M(6) * x(3) -C(5)/M(6) * x(5) - C(6)/M(6) * x(6) - C(7)/M(6) * x(7) ;
dxdt(7) = -K(10)/M(11) * x(1) - K(11)/M(11) * x(2) - K(12)/M(11) * x(3) -C(10)/M(11) * x(5) - C(11)/M(11) * x(6) - C(12)/M(11) * x(7) ;
dxdt(8) = -K(15)/M(16) * x(3) - K(16)/M(16) * x(4) -C(15)/M(16) * x(7) - C(16)/M(16) * x(8) ;
