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
What a Time to Be Alive What a Time to Be Alive What a Time to Be Alive is a collaborative commercial mixtape by Canadian rapper Drake and American rapper Future.
