Abstract
The book starts with a chapter on the behaviour of the simplest elementary system, a system consisting of a mass, supported by a linear spring and a linear damper. The main purpose of this chapter is to define the basic properties of dynamical systems, for future reference. In this chapter the major forms of damping of importance for soil dynamics problems, viscous damping and hysteretic damping, are defined and their properties are investigated.
