    Damping

    pot model used here should consult:

    experimental techniques. Journal of Sound and Vibration, 29, 129153.

    CHAPTERS 2 AND 3: SDOF AND MDOF SYSTEMS

    These chapters cover the most widely used elements of structural dynamics. Several texts
    cover this material at greater length than here among the best are

    lightweight floors are considered in

    Tuned mass dampers


    The idea of using a secondary, oscillating mass as a vibration absorber was developed in the
    early 20th century and the pioneering work of den Hartog is still widely cited today. It is
    most readily available in recent reprints of his classic book:
    den Hartog, J.P. (1985) Mechanical vibrations. 3rd ed., Dover Publications (Chapter 3).
