In this month-long project, I successfully developed a Matlab code to simulate the frictionless dual mass-spring-damper system illustrated below. The report is posted at the bottom of the page.
Skills developed: Matlab, Numerical problem solving

To discuss the report a little, it would have been better in hindsight to place the Validation section immediately after the script and before the Results. The script itself should also have been added as an appendix to the end of the report instead of as a section in the middle. This report was written in December, 2019, and should have included an abstract.
