kcr1 [x1 - (xc1 - d1 )]+ kc f2 [x2 - (xc1 - d1 )] = 0
kcri [xi - (xci - di )]+ kc fi+1 [xi+1 - (xci - di )] = 0
kcri [xi - (xci - di )]+ kc fi+1 [xi+1 - (xci - di )] = 0
CONSIDERING NO SLACK IN THE SYSTEM
i.e Xc11=Xc12 and taking other constants as
ki=ki+1=kfi=kfi+1=kr=kr+1 and ci=ci+1
We get the equations of motions as

1. m𝑥1+kx1+c
ሷ 𝑥1+k(x1+x2)+c(
ሶ 𝑥1+
ሶ 𝑥2)=0
ሶ
2. m𝑥2+kx2+c
ሷ 𝑥2+k(x1+x2+x3+x2)+c(
ሶ 𝑥1+
ሶ 𝑥2+
ሶ 𝑥2+
ሶ 𝑥3)=0
ሶ
3. m𝑥3+kx3+c
ሷ 𝑥3+k(x3+x2)+c(
ሶ 𝑥3+
ሶ 𝑥2)=0
ሶ

Now converting this to matrix form we get

𝑚 0 0 2𝑐 𝑐 0 𝑥1ሶ 2𝑘 𝑘 0
0 𝑚 0 𝑋ሷ + 𝑐 3𝑐 𝑐 𝑥2ሶ + 𝑘 3𝑘 𝑘 X=0
0 0 𝑚 0 𝑐 2𝑐 𝑥3ሶ 0 𝑘 2𝑘

M𝑋ሷ + 𝐶 𝑋ሶ + 𝐾𝑋 = 0
Assuming solution to be X=Xoexp(st)
We get ,
[Ms^2+Cs+K]Xo=0

Taking det(Ms^2+Cs+K)=0
We get s where ,s= Natural frequency, Xo=eigenvalue
So ,we ge the corresponding value of Xo
In this manner we get s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6 i.e 6 eigenvalues
corresponding to Xo
s1= -16.666666666666668 - 7.453559924999299i
s2= -16.666666666666668 + 7.453559924999299i
s3= -8.333333333333334 - 9.860132971832693i
s4= -8.333333333333334 + 9.860132971832693i
s5= -54.415184401122531 + 0.000000000000000i
s6= -12.251482265544137 + 0.000000000000000i

Finally we get the following plots for the given frequencies and
eigenvalues
