FIGURE 6.10 Comparison of an SDOF system response to initial conditions. Dashed line =
overdamping (ξ = 1.2); solid thin line = underdamping (ξ = 0.2); solid thick line = critical
damping (ξ = 1).
Take the same initial conditions as in the case of no damping in Section 6.4,
namely, that Y0 = 0 and V0 = 0 at t = 0, and the forcing function is also the same,
p0 sin(ω t). The equations defining constants are given by Equations 6.46 and 6.47:
– d 1 λ2 + d 2 ω
c 1 = ------------------------------
- (6.82)
λ2 – λ1
and
– d 1 λ1 + d 2 ω
c 2 = ------------------------------

Thus, the constants a1 and a2 in Equation 6.81 become [recall that a1 = c1 + c2 and
a2 = i(c1 – c2)]
a1 = c1 + c2 = –d 1 (6.86)

In Figures 6.11 and 6.12 the vibrations of an SDOF initially undisturbed system
are shown for two forcing frequencies and ξ = 0.4, p0 = 1. It is seen that for a
frequency close enough to the resonance frequency, ω = 0.75ωn, the effect of initial
conditions is visible only for the first cycle of motion (Figure 6.11), while for a
frequency far enough from the resonance frequency, ω = 0.25ωn, the effect of initial
conditions is not visible at all (Figure 6.12).
In general, the effect of initial conditions diminishes very quickly. This allows
one to neglect it all together in applications and thus to consider forced vibrations
of systems with damping as a steady-state process.

where p 0 = P 0 ⁄ m and ξ = c ⁄ 2m ω n .
Equation 6.91 can be used to measure damping properties experimentally by
finding the amplitude of vibrations at the resonance for the given amplitude of the
forcing function.
In Figure 6.13 the normalized (with respect to the static displacement) amplitude–
frequency diagram for a system with damping are shown for two damping properties.
One can see that the maximum amplitude takes place at ω < ωn.
In Figure 6.14 the change of the phase angle with frequency is shown. For
comparison, a phase angle in the system without damping is also given. One can
see that the higher the damping, the more it affects the phase angle. The change in
sign of the phase angle means that below the resonance frequency the response lags
behind the forcing function, whereas above the resonance frequency it forestalls this
function.
It was assumed above that the forcing function has the form p 0 sin ω t . Assume a
more general complex forcing function, P ( t ) = P 0 e i ω t . Then Equation 6.27 becomes
ẏ˙ + 2 ξω n ẏ + ω n y = P 0 e

(6.92)
Here a particular solution of Equation 6.92 is of interest. One can see that the solution
will be a complex number as well. By separating it into real and imaginary parts,
one can find solutions to periodic excitations by p 0 sin ω t and p 0 cos ω t . The particular
solution of Equation 6.92 has the form:

The results are the same as in Equations 6.89 and 6.90, except for the sign of the
phase angle. Now one can present the particular solution with complex forcing
function in the form:
