SDOF
SDOF stands for Single Degree of Freedom. It is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, particularly in the study of vibrations and structural dynamics. A system is considered to be SDOF if its motion can be completely described by a single coordinate. This means that at any given time, the position and motion of the entire system can be uniquely determined by the value of this single variable.
Simple examples of SDOF systems include a mass attached to a spring, or a pendulum with small
The equation of motion for an undamped SDOF system is typically represented by a second-order linear differential
