Title Summary
Second-Order Linear Equations: Mechanical Vibrations Paul's On-Line Notes on using second-order linear equations to model mechanical vibrations
--- specifically, spring-mass systems. The treatment is similar to that in our text.
Interpretation of the Exceptional Case: Resonance Professor Arthur Mattuck (MIT video) considers driven spring-mass systems in the undamped resonant case,
the undamped near-resonance case, and the damped resonance case.
