Two Degrees of Freedom
• Systems that require 2 kinematically independent coordinates to describe
completely the motion of each point in the system are called 2 DOF systems.

• EOMs are in the form of coupled differential equations (i.e., all equations
involve all coordinates). This is also called coordinate coupling.
• We assume harmonic motion for each generalized coordinate. For example, if
we have 2 generalized coordinates 𝑥𝑥1 , 𝑥𝑥2 , then these 2 can be expressed as:
𝑥𝑥1 = 𝑋𝑋1 cos 𝜔𝜔𝜔𝜔 + 𝜙𝜙 , 𝑥𝑥2 = 𝑋𝑋2 cos 𝜔𝜔𝜔𝜔 + 𝜙𝜙
