Statics vs Dynamics

But, for a dynamics problem


The process by which vibration steadily diminishes in amplitude
is called damping

The number of independent displacements required to define


the displaced positions of all the masses relative to their original
position is called the number of degrees of freedom (DOFs) for
dynamic analysis.
Force-displacement relationship

Where k is the lateral


stiffness of the system
