    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).

    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.

    3-110-MilitarySpringMassApplication-ModelingScenario
    The is a collection of different scenarios for the shock system of a trailer. In each scenario, students will transform the shock system of a trailer into a second-order differential equation, solve, and interpret the results.

    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.

    4-050-ResonanceBeats-ModelingScenario
    We study what can happen when a pure oscillator (no damper) is driven by a forced vibration function which has the same or close to the same natural frequency as the system it is driving.

    This project has three parts, (1) done at home, (2) and (3) in class. In (1) we recall how to solve second order differential equations with constant coefficients and simple source functions. In class understand resonance and beats.
