Excellent! Thank you very much for your help! And yes, I did mean [k1+k2]. Are the dampers comparable to Inductors and masses comparable to Resistors? Thanks again, Andrew

Are they effectvely in series? If the mass is displaced, one of the springs tries to push it back into place, while the other one pulls it back into place? Equally, when the mass is in motion, both the dampers resist the motion equally? Does that mean the expression becomes [k1 + k2] =...

I'm sure I must be being a bit dim here, but I can't work this out! I have a mass-spring-damper system, as shown in the attahed picture, in which i have a mass suspended between two springs and dampers, each of which are attached to a fixed surface. he two opposite surfaces are part of the...
