DESCRIPTION:It is suggested that a universal\, simple equation exists that
  can be used for modelling all linear and nonlinear vibration. The motivat
 ion for this work comes from vibration testing. Here\, a structure may be 
 set into vibration and the resulting motion captured. This motion can be m
 odelled perfectly by the proposed equation. More surprisingly the model wi
 ll be familiar to all those who know about vibration. Finally\, a good alg
 orithm exists for fitting the model to data. The fitted equation is the ho
 mogeneous solution of the differential equation describing the structure a
 nd consequently the differential equation\, linear or nonlinear\, can be d
 educed. All these claims seem too good to be true! The talk will give deta
 ils of the equation the modelling algorithm and applications. The author i
 s interested your view of the universality of the modelling.
