IMPORTANT NOTES: Use this page as the cover page of your project. Late submissions will NOT be accepted. Give all of the references (books, papers, class notes etc) you use. Present all of the calculations in full detail and in a neat form. Explain each step of your solution clearly. Fully annotate the plots (i.e. state plot titles and axis labels in detail with corresponding units) Provide units with your results. You can use any software and/or programming language provided that you present full detail about the tools you use, i.e. you must supply all the input/output evidences in printed form as well as the source listings of your program. Do not submit the print-out of the tabulated data which are used in the plots. The solutions you submit must be the product of your own personal efforts. Any help which you get from others in any form must not be beyond discussions on the solution methods used and/or cross-checking your findings.

During operation a 100-kg press is subjected to the periodic excitation shown. The press is mounted on an elastic foundation of stiffness 1.6 105 N/m and damping ratio 0.2. The excitation is shown over one period. a) Expand F(t) in a Fourier series and plot it. Use forty terms in the evaluation of the Fourier series. b) Determine and plot the steady state response of the press.
