Statics Vs Dynamics: But, For A Dynamics Problem

Statics deals with objects at rest under the influence of forces while dynamics considers objects in motion and the forces that cause motion such as vibration. Dynamics problems examine how applied forces affect an object's motion over time and consider concepts such as damping which refers to how vibration decreases in amplitude. The number of degrees of freedom refers to the number of independent displacements needed to define the position of all masses in a dynamic system.

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
