Abstract
This chapter deals with small vibrations of mechanical systems with many degrees of freedom. The effective method of solution for conservative systems is the linear transformation leading to uncoupled single oscillators. For dissipative systems the effective method of solution is the Laplace transform based on the linear superposition principle.
