Vibration it can be very harmful – leading to eventual failure of the system. Consequently, one of the major reasons for vibration analysis is to predict when this type of resonance may occur and then to determine what steps to take to prevent it from occurring. As the amplitude plot shows, adding damping can significantly reduce the magnitude of the vibration. Also, the magnitude can be reduced if the natural frequency can be shifted away from the forcing frequency by changing the stiffness or mass of the system. If the system cannot be changed, perhaps the forcing frequency can be shifted
Oh, What Songs of the Heart blest, There's no word, there's no thought can impart, But our rapture will be All the soul can attest, In the heavenly songs of the heart; But our rapture will be In the vision we'll see Best expressed in the songs of the heart Oh, what songs we'll employ! Oh, what welcome we'll hear! When we kneel at our dear Savior's feet. And the heart swells with joy In embraces most dear When our heavenly parents we meet! Oh, what songs we'll employ As the heart swells with joy, When our heavenly parents we meet! </poem> "Oh, What Songs of
