Question: For the spring - damper system shown below, k 1 = 1 5 N / m k 2 = 1 2 N / m k

For the spring-damper system shown below,
k1=15 N/m
k2=12 N/m
k0=7 N/m
m1=1 kg
m2=3 kg
q1 and q2 are displacements of masses m1 and m2, respectively. A periodic force Q2(t) is applied to mass m2 as given in the graph, whereas no force is applied on mass m1, that is Q1(t)=0.
Obtain the steady-state displacements of the two masses using three methods given below and compare the results (show one figure for q1 and another for q2):
(a) Modal analysis,
(b) Matlab direct integration tools such as lsim or ode45 or your own Runge-Kutta algorithm, and
(c) NASTRAN or FEMAP
For the spring - damper system shown below, k 1 =
