mode shapes in damped systems

Mode shapes in damped systems refer to the patterns of vibration exhibited by a structure when subjected to external forces, taking into account the energy dissipation due to damping. The mode shapes represent the spatial distribution of displacements at different frequencies, indicating how the structure deforms in response to excitation. Damping influences the decay of vibration amplitudes in each mode shape, affecting the overall dynamic response of the system.
