Mechanical Vibrations II: Forced Response

Jan 1, 2021 · 1 min read

Summary

We continue with the solution of ODEs that govern a spring-mass system:

$$ m x^{\prime \prime}(t)+\delta x^{\prime}(t)+k x(t)=f(t), $$

where $\delta \geqslant 0$ is the damping constant, $m>0$ is the mass of the object, and $k>0$ is the spring constant. $f(t)$ is forcing (or input).
