Let us assume that the two degrees of


freedoms are measured as x1 and x2 as indicated in
the figure.

A two DOF system has 2 natural frequencies.


When a system vibrates at any natural frequencythere
exists a deflection relationship with respect to
amplitudes.
Such a configuration is called normal mode.
In a normal mode oscillation both m1 and m2 have
harmonic motion of same frequency passing through
simultaneously through the equilibrium position.
