Mode shapes can be normalized in different ways since mode shapes represent only
the relative displacement of the d.o.f.
Consider the mode shape in the following example:
1 0 .0 3 6 0 .0 3 6 0 .1 2 5
T
20 0 0
2 0 .1 5 8 0 .1 5 8 0 M 0 0 m
T
20
3 0 .1 5 4 0 .1 5 4 0 .0 3 0 60
T
0
The normalization is done with the first value taken as unity and with maximum value
taken as unity; the corresponding mode shapes are,
1 1 1 3 .47 1 0 .288 0.288 1

One of the common assumption is that C matrix is mass and stiffness proportional
i.e.
C M K
values of a and b are determined with the help of the un damped natural frequencies
of the system; more information on the topic will be discussed in a subsequent lecture.

Un damped mode shapes and natural frequencies are extremely useful in solving
dynamic problems and are very popular in linear domain; the solution is obtained in
modal space which will be discussed later.
But this is possible only for a class of damping matrix called classically damped
matrix which is also known as proportional damping matrix; however, there are many
problems which deal with non classical damping.
In such situations, damped natural frequencies and mode shapes are required.
For finding damped mode shapes, the damped free vibrations of MDOF is
considered as below .. .

Problem is converted to an algebraic equation
Q ( ) M 2 C K 0
the above problem is called quadratic eigen value problem; the problem is set as
Q ( )u 0
Q ( )has 2n eigen values 𝜆; they are the roots of det Q ( ) 0.

A common way to solve the above problem is to first linearize it to a linear eigen
value problem by defining a vector

Eigen values and eigenvectors of the above generalized eigenvalue or state space
eigenvalue problem are complex quantities leading to solving the dynamic problems
in complex domain.

Complex mode shapes have the following characteristics
All the points do not pass through their maxima at the same in time- points
appear to have time log.
All the points do not pass through zero at the same instant of time.
Mode shapes can not be described by real valued numbers- the shapes are
complex valued.
The different d.o.f will have some general phase relationship that will not
necessarily be in phase or 180 degrees out-of phase with other d.o.f.
