Undamped single degree-of-freedom system -- Damped single degree-of-freedom system -- Response of one-degree-of-freedom system to harmonic loading -- Response to general dynamic loading -- Fourier ...
Consider the undamped single-degree-of-freedom system shown below that is excited by harmonic base motion x B (t) = b sinωt, where ω is the frequency of the base motion: Here kbsinωt plays the role of ...
