This document outlines Holzer's method, a technique for determining the natural frequencies and mode shapes of linear dynamical systems. The key points are: - Holzer's method involves assuming a trial solution for the mode shape and using the characteristic equation to solve for the natural frequency and mode shape coefficients. - It is an iterative, tabular method used to analyze multi-degree of freedom vibrational systems, both undamped and damped. - The steps involve writing the equation of motion, assuming a trial mode shape, substituting into the equation of motion, using the characteristic equation to find the natural frequency, and then solving for the mode shape coefficients.
