This document summarizes a lecture on mechanical vibrations with viscous damping. It discusses deriving the governing differential equation for a single degree of freedom damped system and solving the equation. Based on the damping ratio (ζ), the system response can be underdamped (ζ < 1), overdamped (ζ > 1), or critically damped (ζ = 1). The solutions and their graphical representations are presented for each damping case.

Case 1: < 1 (Underdamped)

Solution then is equivalently expressed as:

This is a better time to use ICs to get the constants B1 and B2 associated
with your solution
