Vibration frequency response function can be calculated, thereby characterizing the system. This technique is used in the field of experimental modal analysis to determine the vibration characteristics of a structure. The simple mass–spring–damper model is the foundation of vibration analysis, but what about more complex systems? The mass–spring–damper model described above is called a single degree of freedom (SDOF) model since the mass is assumed to only move up and down. In more complex systems, the system must be discretized into more masses that move in more than one direction, adding degrees of freedom. The major concepts of multiple degrees of
Per-unit system this, the base currents I and I are related in the opposite way that V and V are related, in that formula_31 The reason for this relation is for power conservation S = S The full load copper loss of a transformer in per-unit form is equal to the per-unit value of its resistance: formula_32 formula_33 Therefore, it may be more useful to express the resistance in per-unit form as it also represents the full-load copper loss. As stated above, there are two degrees of freedom within the per unit system that allow the engineer to specify any per unit
