Hi, I want to solve MDOF with damping using Biggs book: Biggs, J. (1964). Introduction to structural dynamics [by] John M. Biggs. McGraw-Hill, New York. The book's example is undamped and the resistance is equal to the minimum of 4*m/h or k*y. But i try to figure out how to solve it and what the resistance will be now. https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4b29b4e4-8494-4b37-acc9-46129e07940e&file=Screenshot_2021-07-21-15-24-39-553_com.google.android.apps.docs.jpg https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0d714b1a-1702-4b7f-9585-61d05a3f7b00&file=Screenshot_2021-07-21-08-24-41-821_com.google.android.apps.docs.jpg https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b91b7cde-4078-4af5-83f4-3c52e3f0f939&file=Screenshot_2021-07-21-08-31-52-002_com.google.android.apps.docs.jpg
