A) What are the basic mathematical formulae describing an excited (forced), undamped
vibration system?
−𝒌𝒙 − 𝒄𝒙̇ + 𝑭𝟎 ⋅ 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒕 = 𝒎𝒙̈
Equation of motion:
𝑭𝟎 ⋅ 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒕
𝒙̈ + 𝟐𝝃𝒘𝒏 ⋅ 𝒙̇ + 𝒘𝟐𝒏 ⋅ 𝒙 =
𝒎
B) Provide the mathematical solution for the case of force excitation
From the free-body diagram, Newton’s second law gives
−𝒌(𝒙 − 𝒙𝑩) − 𝒄𝒙 − 𝒌(𝒙 − 𝒙𝑩 ) − 𝒄𝒙̇ = 𝒎𝒙̈
𝒌𝒃⋅𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒕
Or 𝒙̈ + 𝟐𝟓𝝎𝒏 𝒙̇ + 𝝎𝟐𝒏 𝒙 =
𝒎
First, we treat the case where damping is negligible (c 0). Our
basic equation of motion, becomes
𝑭𝟎
𝒙̈ + 𝒘𝒏𝟐 𝒙 = ⋅ 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒕
𝒎
The complete solution to Eq. is the sum of the complementary
solution xc, which is the general solution of Eq. with the right side
set to zero, and the particular solution xp, which is any solution to the
complete equation. Thus, x=xc +xp. A particular solution is investigated by assuming that
the form of the response to the force should resemble that of the force term. To that end, we
assume
𝒙𝒑 = 𝒙 ⋅ 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒕
where X is the amplitude (in units of length) of the particular solution.
Substituting this expression into Eq. 8/15 and solving for X yield
𝑭𝟎 ∕ 𝒌
𝒙=
𝟏 − (𝒘 ∕ 𝒘𝒏 )𝟐
Thus, the particular solution becomes
𝑭𝟎 ∕ 𝒌
𝒙𝒑 = 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒕

4) What are the basic mathematical formulae describing an
excited (forced), damped vibration system? Provide the
mathematical solution for the case of excitation by support
displacement, and describe the physical content of the
formula. Show simple examples.
A) What are the basic mathematical formulae describing an excited (forced),
damped vibration system?
basic differential equation of motion is
𝑭𝟎 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝝎𝒕
𝒙 + 𝟐𝜻𝝎𝒏 𝒙̇ + 𝝎𝟐𝒏 𝒙 =
𝒎
Again, the complete solution is the sum of the complementary solution
xc, which is the general solution of Eq. with the right side equal to zero, and the particular solution
xp, which is any solution to the complete equation. We have already developed the complementary
solution
xc . When damping is present, we find that a single sine or cosine term, such as we were able to use
for the undamped case, is not sufficiently general for the particular solution. So we try
𝒙𝒑 = 𝑿𝟏 𝒄𝒐𝒔 𝝎𝒕 + 𝑿𝟐 𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝝎𝒕 or 𝒙𝒑 = 𝑿 𝒔𝒊𝒏(𝝎𝒕−𝜱 )
B) Provide the mathematical solution for the case of excitation by support
displacement
Substitute the latter expression into Eq. , match coefficients of sin𝝎𝒕
and cos 𝝎𝒕 , and solve the resulting two equations to obtain
𝑭𝟎 ⁄𝒌
𝑿= 𝟏
{[𝟏 − (𝝎⁄𝝎𝒏 )𝟐 ]𝟐 + [𝟐𝜻𝝎⁄𝝎𝒏 ]𝟐 }𝟐
𝟐𝜻𝝎∕𝝎𝒏
𝝓 = 𝒕𝒂𝒏−𝟏 [ ]
𝟏 − (𝝎 ∕ 𝝎𝒏 )
The complete solution is now known, and for underdamped systems it
can be written as
𝒙 = 𝑪ⅇ−𝜻𝝎𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒊𝒏(𝝎𝒅 𝒕 + 𝝍) + 𝑿 𝒔𝒊𝒏(𝒘𝒕 − 𝝓)
