MATLAB was successfully implemented in severali n s t a n c e s .

comprehensive modal analysis was performedwith two co-ordinate transformations and proportional damping. A particular usefor MATLAB was performing the impulse response for two separate non-periodicexcitation forces applied to the system. Other types of excitation were discussed,and finally some of the fundamental assumptions of the system were altered toobserve the effect on damping. 1. I NTRODUCTION In this report, the system in figure 1 with six Degrees of Freedom (DoF) will beconsidered. The governing equation will be derived using Lagrangian mechanicsin section 2. Then it will be subject to a number of different analysis procedures.The matrix method will determine the undamped natural frequencies and modalshapes in section 3. A kinematic analysis will be performed in section 4, withmodal analysis that uses two co-ordinate transformations and proportionaldamping. This process will find estimates for damping ratios, damping factorsand damped frequencies. A kinetic analysis will take place in section 5, wheretwo separate pre-determined non-periodic excitation forces will be applied to thesystem. Numerical and analytical procedures are thereby examined for theireffectiveness in predicting
