 Force input function of the
harmonic excitation is the
harmonic function, i.e.
functions of sines and
cosines.
This type of excitation is
common to many system
involving rotating and
reciprocating motion.
Moreover,
many other forces can be
represented as an infinite
series of harmonic
functions. By the principle
of
superposition, the
response is the sum of the

Response of SDOFM
 Undamped system
oscillates at a constant
amplitude as predicted by
the theory but the response
is not harmonic because of
the superposition of initial
condition response (0 phase
lag)
–Damped system behavior
is similar to the undamped
system except that the
initial condition response
decays in time so that the
system finally oscillates at
the steady-state response
as predicted by theory
