Right now stiffness are constants set at the beginning of the simulation. To keep the system simple the plots I had shared restricted the values so that the model had constant stiffness of 1 across it. For the dynamic equations, since parts of the code are still being worked on and the testing...

I have been having trouble getting the calculation of energy for a chain of coupled oscillators to come out correctly. The program was run in Matlab and is intended to calculate the energy of a system of connected Hooke's law oscillators. Right now there is only stiffness and no dampening...

The issue I am having is setting up the actual program for the problem. I am having trouble interpreting the code and, because of that, having issues getting it to work properly. The whole thing was written with Matlab and the goal was to write a function that could simulate the motion of a...
