Eigenfrequencies are the natural frequencies at which a system tends to oscillate in the absence of any driving or damping force, and they are intrinsic properties determined by the system's physical parameters. They are critical in understanding resonance phenomena, where a system can experience large amplitude oscillations when driven at its eigenfrequencies.

Driving Force

A damping force is like a brake that slows down things that are moving, like a swing or a car. It helps stop things from moving too much or too fast, keeping them safe and steady.

Intrinsic properties are the inherent characteristics of an object or substance that do not depend on external factors or conditions. These properties are fundamental to the identity of the object and remain constant regardless of the environment or situation.

Physical parameters are quantifiable characteristics of a physical system that define its state and behavior, such as temperature, pressure, and volume. They are essential for modeling, predicting, and controlling physical phenomena across various scientific and engineering disciplines.
