The single degree of freedom (SDOF) is the simplest dynamic system we could study. In-spite of its simplicity, the SDOF may model several engineering problems and provide the necessary insight to its performance. Also, more complex systems may be described as a collection of SDF systems which make the study of such simple systems of great importance to anyone who wants to study the dynamics of structures or any dynamic system
