The radian frequencies are = 1763, 700, 499, 4.05x 10%, 231 It is obvious that the system has a rigid body mode, and the fourth frequency, 4.05 x 10-6, is so small compared to the other frequencies that it should be taken to be 0. It is not zero because of numerical roundoff error. This frequency corresponds to the rigid body mode. ‘The mode shapes are the columns of the matrix modes, which is, 1 1 it -19.7 -2.97 0.659 1 0.644 368 1.885 1.225 1 0.059 6866 -0.125 0.242 1 -0.547 3259 0.245 0.321 1 ~0.578 ‘The fourth column corresponds to the rigid body mode.
