Feb 17, 2020 at 0:48 comment added Marco Villalobos As you say, I get that the therm with n=2 blows up to infinity, in a real world scenario, with damping, maybe this amplitude is really really high, so the motion is basically this normal mode. Is this what I saw happening in the lab?
Feb 16, 2020 at 16:06 comment added mike stone For any shaking you will get some excitation of the non-resonant modes. In the absence of damping and at $\omega= 2\pi n/L$ the resonant mode will have infinite amplitude, so you need to stay away from exact resonance. What do you actually get when you solve?
Feb 16, 2020 at 14:33 comment added Marco Villalobos That's what I tried as I say in Edit2, but it also fails to give me an unique normal mode as a solution, probably that's because in this scenario the string is not fixed at both sides anymore, and we don't get the normal modes expected
