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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
