Shown below are three time histories for the free response of a single-DOF system with zero initial stretch in the spring and an initial velocity downward. These time histories correspond to damping ...

Now that gravitational waves have been detected, theoreticians have been furiously speculating about what we might learn from our gravitational wave observatories. Now that we have a couple of ...

Our weather is affected by patterns all across the world. One of them is called the Madden-Julian Oscillation, which is an atmospheric event that happens over the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Damped SDOF response. The Influence of Damping on Free Response. Shown below are three time histories for the free response of a single-DOF system with zero initial stretch in the spring and an ...
