Transfer function of Mass-Damber-Spring,connected through linkages

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on modeling the transfer function of a Mass-Damper-Spring system connected through linkages. Participants emphasize the importance of considering the linkages in the modeling process, as they can significantly influence the system's dynamics. Clarification is provided that X1 represents the input signal in the context of the transfer function equation. Overall, understanding the role of linkages and accurately defining inputs is crucial for effective system modeling. This discussion highlights key considerations for accurately determining the transfer function in mechanical systems.

Transfer function of Mass-Damper-Spring,connected through linkages

Hi guys,I have posted a picture of the system I am trying to model in order to obtain its transfer function.
My question is: Do the linkages affect the modelling of the system and should I take them into account?Also, is X1 the input of this system?
Thanks!

What reason do you have to disregard them?

You'd generally like to have input * transfer function = output. In your case, that would make X1(s) the input signal.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
