If we consider harmonic vibrations, \(\mathbf M \ddot {\mathbf u}\)
becomes \(- \omega^2 \mathbf M \mathbf u\). Because of the lack
of damping (or energy dissipation),
forcing functions at certain frequencies will lead to infinite
displacements, so we consider the unforced problem:
\[\mathbf K \mathbf u - \omega^2 \mathbf M \mathbf u = 0\]
