Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to present a brief introduction to the theory of vibration of single degree of freedom systems. The method of analysis of single degree of freedom systems serves as one of the fundamental building blocks in the theory of vibration of discrete and continuous systems. As will be shown in later chapters, the concepts introduced and the techniques developed for the analysis of single degree freedom systems can be generalized to study discrete systems with multi-degrees of freedom as well as continuous systems.
