MiR@W day: Detection of modes of oscillation

13th January 2020

Organiser: Robert MacKay

In many domains, one wishes to detect modes of oscillation from observations. This means finding their frequency, damping rate, mode shape and amplitude. Examples to be treated on this day are business cycles, AC power networks, structural engineering, and acoustic oscillations in the sun.
