Somewhere out there exists the perfect suspension. In theoretical worlds governed by equations and engineering, we're taught that by combining the proper spring and damping rate onto a known mass ...

Eigensensitivity analysis addresses how the spectral properties of damped systems—specifically, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors—respond to variations in system parameters. This analytical approach is ...

Let v(x,t) denote the displacement of an infinitely long, idealized string performing damped vibrations caused by white noise. Upper and lower bounds for the distribution of maxs v(x,s) and maxx v(x,t ...
