Structural System Representation
Methods for describing structural systems

(e.g., vibration of uniform linear beams)
• Approximate solution : finite D.O.F. two basic approaches 1) Modal methods
2) Discrete point methods

Continuous System
• At this point, a distinction between two main classes of approaches for approximating the solution of structural systems needs to be made.
• The two basic approaches are
1) modal methods: represent displacements by overall motion of the structure
2) discrete point methods: represent displacement by motion at
many discrete points distributed along the structures
