********** No damping ********** A machine tool can be described using equation [1], where :math:`M` is the mass matrix, :math:`D` is the damping matrix and :math:`K` is the stiffness matrix. .. math:: M \ddot{x} + D \dot{x} + K x = 0 \quad [1] Using the no-damping model, the damping matrix :math:`D` of the reduced system is set to 0, resulting in an undamped system.
