Mechanical network

Elements include rigid bodies, springs, dampers, transmissions, and actuators.

The symbols from left to right are: stiffness element (e.g. spring), mass (rigid body), mechanical resistance (e.g. damper), force generator, velocity generator.

The symbols shown relate to the impedance analogy.

In the mobility analogy the symbols are reversed, being respectively velocity and force generators.
