Contribution from Off-Resonant ModesThe response of a continuous structure (multiple degree of freedomsystem) can be represented by the superposition of the responses in its individualmodes, considering each mode to responses as a single degree of freedom system.Differences between the resonance characteristics of the response of a singledegree of freedom system and those of a multiple degree of freedom system are,however, manifested by the contribution of the off-resonant modes to the mode thatis excited.These responses can be derived from equation of motion for a singledegree of freedom system with structural (hysteretic) damping [5]:or••γ ⋅ km ⋅ x+ω•j⋅ω⋅tx+k ⋅ x = F ⋅ ewhere( + j ⋅γ )••m ⋅ x+kj⋅ω⋅t( 1 + j ⋅γ) ⋅ x = F ⋅ ek 1 - is called the complex stiffnessγ - is called the structural damping factor.The steady state solution is given by:
