In other words, the problem has been transformed from a large unwieldy multiple degree of freedom problem into many single degree of freedom problems that can be solved using the same methods outlined above.

Response spectra are very useful tools of earthquake engineering for analyzing the performance of structures and equipment in earthquakes, since many behave principally as simple oscillators ( also known as single degree of freedom systems ).

Streinu's solution augments the input to form a pointed pseudotriangulation, removes one convex hull edge from this graph, and shows that this edge removal provides a single degree of freedom allowing the polygon to be made more convex one step at a time.

A "'Shock Response Spectrum "'( SRS ) is a graphical representation of a shock, or any other transient acceleration input, in terms of how a Single Degree Of Freedom ( SDOF ) system ( like a mass on a spring ) would respond to that input.
