1. Forced vibrations with damping are modeled by an equation of the form mü + γu̇ + ku = F0cos(ωt), where m is mass, γ is damping coefficient, k is spring constant, F0 and ω are the force amplitude and frequency.
2. The general solution has the form u(t) = uC(t) + U(t), where uC(t) is the transient solution and U(t) is the steady-state or forced response.
3. The amplitude R of the steady-state forced response depends on the driving frequency ω, with a maximum value of Rmax occurring at the resonant frequency ωmax, which is
