DISCUSSION OF RESULT AND CONCLUSION
From Table 1, it can be seen that the present model which is based on lumped mass idealization produced results
that agreed favourably with the simulated values. The difference in the response values may be due to difficulty
inherent in the derivation of the present model.
In conclusion, the present model can be used to simulate the actual system (James, 1984). The mathematical
process involved is simple and less rigorous most especially when a finite number of lumped masses is
involved.
