Single-degree-of-freedom system
…………….….2.6 with viscous damper.
Solution
These roots give two solutions
…………….….2.7
Critical Damping Constant and the Damping Ratio
therefore
…………….….2.8
…………….….2.9
…………….….2.10
Case 1. Underdamped system
is negative, therefore
the frequency of damped vibration omegad is always less than the undamped natural
frequency omegan.
the roots s1 and s2 are real and distinct and are given by
If the damping in the given system is not known, we can determine it experimentally by
measuring any two consecutive displacements x1 and x2. By taking the natural
logarithm of the ratio of x1 and x2 we obtain
