γ = damping coefficient;
−1 γ(ω02 + ω 2 )
θ = tan = phase lag of transient term, xh(t);
ωd (ω02 − ω 2 )
2γω
φ = tan−1 = phase lag of steady-state term, xp(t).
ω02 − ω 2
Here, γ < ω0 (underdamped).
To scale Eq. (2), let ξ = x/A, s = ω0t, α = γ/ω0, and β = ω/ω0 (all unitless).
Then,
γ p ω
γt = ω0t = αs; ωd = ω0 1 − α2 ; ωt = ω0t = βs,
ω0 ω0
and Eq. (2) becomes:

e−αs p
ξ(t) = − √ cos 1 − α2 s − θ + cos(βs − φ),
1 − α2
