Roles
Team Leader
Reporter
Time Keeper
Quality Auditor

Team Leader will be responsible for the timely completion of the project and to
coordinate with all the team members.
Reporter will be responsible for the well documentation and presentation of all
activities undertaken by the team.
Responsibility of the Time Keeper is to make sure that the project is completed on
time along with meeting all the time deadlines that were assigned to all at the
initial stages of the project. He needs to make sure that the project is going well on
time.
It is the responsibility of the Quality Auditor to verify all documentation and plan
which the team has decided to do.

2. Team Approach and Timeline

 We prepared the Gantt chart and the series of work to be undertaken in the
project was listed.
Each member of the team was assigned a specific work and given the
required deadline to finish the work.
Some of the topics which required detailed discussion and analysis were
assigned to all the members, to work in synchronous manner.

3. Inputs to the program

M1- Mass of the first block (in kilograms)
M2- Mass of the second block (in kilograms)
K1- Spring constant of the first spring (in N/m)
K2- Spring constant of the second spring (in N/m)
C1- Damping coefficient of the first viscous damper (Ns/m)
C2- Damping coefficient of the second viscous damper (Ns/m)
F0- Amplitude of the external applied force (N)
w- Frequency of the external input
xo - Initial position of the masses
vo - Initial velocity of the masses
Further variables can be added to the program at a later stage.

4. Free Vibration Analysis

Where X1 and X2 are constants that denote the maximum amplitudes of

x1 (t) and x2 (t) and is the phase angle.

5. Forced Vibration Analysis

The equation of motion of a general two degree of freedom system under
external forces can be written as:

The equation can be solved to obtain:
