New analytical and numerical results of dynamics for both linear and nonlinear system with two degrees of freedom are presented. For the mechanical chain system with two degrees of freedom, oscillations are investigated analytically and numerically with corresponding comparison between free and forced oscillatory dynamics of linear and nonlinear system. Using the Mihailo Petroviċ’s theory of elements of mathematical phenomenology, the phenomenological mappings in vibrations, signals, resonances and dynamical absorptions in models with two degrees of freedom – abstractions of different real system dynamics are identified, as well as in eigen time functions of multi-deformable coupled body system dynamics, and presented. Mathematical description of a chain mechanical system with two mass particles coupled by linear and nonlinear elastic springs and with two degree of freedom is given. By the analysis of corresponding solutions for free and forced vibrations, series of related two-frequency regimes and resonant states, as well as dynamical absorption states, are identified. Phenomenological mappings are used to explain dynamics in two deformable body (beams, plates or membranes) systems.    
In short, new analytical and numerical results of linear and non-linear dynamics of a system with two-degrees of freedom in analogy with eigen time functions oscillations of transversal vibrations of two body system dynamics are presented. Structural analogies are identified between eigen time functions of different multi-coupled deformable body transversal vibrations (plates, beams, belts or membranes). Mathematical phenomenology elements and phenomenological mappings are applied in the scientific results integration. Mathematical analogy and phenomenological mappings of linear and nonlinear singular phenomena in discrete and multi-body system vibrations (torsional system, multi-pendulum system, coupled electrical circuit and multi-deformable-body oscillations-beams, plates, membranes) are performed. Structural analogy is used to explain phenomenological mappings between displacements of the mass particles in discrete system and eigen time functions in one eigen amplitude mode of dynamics in two coupled deformable body (beams, plates or membranes) systems.
