Analytical solutons are only possible for high simplified systems. The dynamics of realistic systems usually requires numerical methods to describe the solutions.
This page includes links to various files that can be used to simulate the response of systems exposed to both internal and external forces. In addition, tools used to visualize the solutions of various equastions of motion are included..
