Since the generalized masses
M
i
of Eq. (10.72) are defined in terms of the mode shapes
which contain an arbitrary constant, proper selection of the constant will permit
M
i
to be de-
fined (scaled) such that
M
i
=

Summary of the Modal Superposition Method
The dynamic response of any linear vibration system modeled with
n

DOF can be com-
puted using the modal superposition procedure just described. The procedure can be sum-
marized in the following steps.
STEP 1. Formulation of Equations of Motion
For the class of problems considered here, the equations of motion can be expressed in
the matrix form
