    4-055-ShatterWineGlass-ModelingScenario
    This module takes students through real life scenarios to examine resonance and its destructive power using differential equation models. What is resonance? How does it happen? Why is it important?

    2003-Givens-Bonfima-Direct observation of normal modes in coupled oscillators
    We propose a simple and inexpensive method to directly observe each normal mode of a system of coupled oscillators, as well as to measure its corresponding frequency, without performing Fourier analysis or using expensive apparatus.

    2008-Keith_Landry-Brian_Winkel-Peak_Frequency_Responses_and_Tuned_Mass_Dampers
    We present two applications of systems of ordinary differential equations concerning excitation of a structure through resonance and (1) peak frequency responses with stabilization of the structure by means of a (2) Tuned Mass Damper (TMD).

    3-072-EarthQuakePartI-ModelingScenario
    This modeling scenario considers a one-story building as a simple structure; the roof is modeled as a single point mass. Movement of the roof can be modeled similar to a mass-spring system.

    So needless to say, an understanding of oscillations is required for an understanding of waves.

    5-040-TunedMassDamper-Part-I-Modeling Scenario
    We offer an opportunity to build mathematical models to mitigate dangerous displacements in structures using structural improvements called Tuned Mass Dampers. We model the motion of the original structure as a spring-mass-dashpot system.

    2016-Simon_Malham-Differential_Equations_and_Linear_Algebra
    This is a nice set of notes on which a course can be based. There is ample material on first and second order, linear systems, and Laplace Transform methods for setting up and solving differential equations.
