Please consider the following guides/points in completing this section:

Summarise in the short answer box/field below what you now know about the vibration theory of SDOF systems that you did not know prior to the start of this lab experiment and this module.  

What did you need to concentrate on when you were taking readings and other team members were leading?  (LO 16)

What did you need to think about and check when you were leading the team and other team members were taking the readings? (LO 16)

What processes or procedures did you use during this lab exercise and what would you take note of for future activities When you are a team member and when you are the team leader?  (LO 18)

We strongly recommend that you prepare your reflection in Word and then copy/paste to the box below with these section headings.
