Spring constant, k The change in the force per unit length change of the spring.

Coefficient of subgrade reaction, k:
k
Spring constant divided by the foundation contact area, k =
A


Undamped natural circular frequency: n = rad/s
W
where m = mass =
g


Undamped natural frequency: f n = (in Hz)
2 m

Note: Circular frequency defines the rate of oscillation in term of radians per unit
time; 2π radians being equal to one complete cycle of rotation.

Period, T: The time required for the motion to begin repeating itself.

n
Resonance: Resonance occurs when =1


Critical damping coefficient: cc = 2 km
W
where k = spring constant; m = mass =
g

c c
Damping ratio: D = =
cc 2 km

where c = viscous damping coefficient; cc = critical damping coefficient

Damped natural frequency:

d = n 1 − D2

fd = 1 − D2 fn
