Abstract

This paper provides a symmetric solution to the inverse eigenvalue problem for systems defined by second order vector differential equations representing a multiple degree of freedom spring-mass damper system. Formulations are provided for calculating real symmetric coefficient matrices from spectral data. These relations are also defined for both simple and Jordan systems.
