This document provides an overview of structural dynamics and free vibration analysis of single degree of freedom systems. It defines key concepts like natural frequency, damping, and logarithmic decrement. Methods for analyzing undamped and damped free vibration are presented. Examples show how to calculate the natural frequency, time period, amplitude, and displacement as a function of time for undamped systems subjected to initial displacement or velocity conditions. Analysis of damped systems models the response as a decaying exponential function.
