Forced Response of Damped System

Forced Response of Damped System (Contd)

From the theory of the solution of ODEs (Diff-Eq class), search

Where
and
two constants to be determined, plugging
into the governing equation we get:

like
back

Using below given trigonometric relations and then comparing the

coefficients of
and
, equations on next slides are
obtained:

Forced Response of Damped System (Contd)

Solving these equations leads to:
