create ode solver for 2 dof in matlab

To create an ODE solver for a 2 degree of freedom (DOF) system in MATLAB, you will first need to define the equations of motion for your system. Once you have done this, you can use MATLAB's built-in ODE solvers to numerically integrate your equations and determine the motion of your system over time.

Here is an example of how to create an ODE solver for a 2 DOF system in MATLAB:

main.m
% Define the equations of motion for your system
function dYdt = equationsOfMotion(t, Y)
    m1 = 1; % mass of first DOF
    m2 = 1; % mass of second DOF
    k1 = 10; % spring constant of first DOF
    k2 = 10; % spring constant of second DOF
    c1 = 1; % damping coefficient of first DOF
    c2 = 1; % damping coefficient of second DOF
    
    % Unpack the state vector
    y1 = Y(1);
    y2 = Y(2);
    dy1dt = Y(3);
    dy2dt = Y(4);
    
    % Define the equations of motion
    ddy1dt = (-k1*y1 - c1*dy1dt + k2*(y2-y1) + c2*(dy2dt-dy1dt))/m1;
    ddy2dt = (-k2*(y2-y1) - c2*(dy2dt-dy1dt))/m2;
    
    % Pack the derivatives into a vector
    dYdt = [dy1dt; dy2dt; ddy1dt; ddy2dt];
end

% Set initial conditions and time span
Y0 = [0; 1; 0; 0]; % initial conditions
tspan = [0 10]; % time span

% Solve the ODE using MATLAB's built-in solver
[t,Y] = ode45(@equationsOfMotion, tspan, Y0);

% Plot the results
plot(t,Y(:,1),t,Y(:,2));
xlabel('Time (s)');
ylabel('Displacement (m)');
legend('DOF 1', 'DOF 2');

In this example, the equationsOfMotion function defines the equations of motion for the 2 DOF system. The ode45 function is then used to numerically integrate these equations and determine the motion of the system over time. The results are plotted using the plot function.

You will need to adjust the values of m1, m2, k1, k2, c1, and c2 to match the parameters of your specific system.
