ions of motion for the SDOF system are listed in Table 8.1. Transforming this differential equation into the frequency domain

produces description of the dynamic behavior in the form of the compliance frequency response ( ) (Formula 8. which is

caused by the complex ratios between dynamic displacement ( ) and dynamic force ( ). The compliance frequency response may

be separated into amplitude and phase responses (Fig. 8.. The amplitude response represents compliance as function of frequency. The staticcompliance

amplitude, .. the reciprocal of the static stiffness /, can be read off ata frequency 0 Hz. The system possesses its maximum compliance at resonance frequency . The phase response describes the time lag between the excitation force and the resulting displacement.

The distance from the origin of point on the Nyquist plot is the amount of compliance, while the rotation of this position vector in relation to the positive horizontal axis represents the phase. Because of passive system characteristics, there is always time lag between theforce and the displacement which requires negative phase values in the phaseresponse and frequency parameterization of the frequency response locus in theclockwise direction, .. in the mathematically negative direction of rotation. fundamental distinction is
