Two-mass system X1/F, X2/F with F-V analogy
Short answer
Laplace transform of equations yields X1/F = [M2s^2+(D2+b1+b2)s+k1+k2] / Δ, X2/F = (b1s+k1) / Δ, Δ = [M1s^2+(D1+b1)s+k1][M2s^2+(D2+b1+b2)s+k1+k2] - (b1s+k1)^2. F-V: masses→L, dampers→R, springs→1/C; coupling b1,k1 share common R–C branch.
The given mechanical system has force f(t) as input and x1 and x2 as displacement outputs. Draw equivalent F-V analogous circuit and determine the transfer functions X1(s)/F(s) and X2(s)/F(s). [Figure: force f(t) applied to mass M1 (displacement x1, friction D1 with ground); M1 connected to mass M2 (displacement x2, friction D2 with ground) through spring k1 in parallel with damper b1; M2 connected to the fixed wall through damper b2 in parallel with spring k2]
