How does the spring-mass vibration model make the analogy with real life systems?

175 views

When we’re taught about vibrations, every mathematical modelisation deals with a system of a fixed spring whose end has a certain mass, but how does this relate to real-world systems like a bridge or a building? The natural frequency of the spring-mass system is the number of back-and-forth movements being done per second, but what’s the equivalent of that for let’s say a building or a bridge or any real-life application?

Explain like I’m two….. I had absolutely no idea what the title meant. I’m glad I’ve now gained the knowledge. I absorbed it completely in full….

Thank you.
