Forced Excitation
If a harmonic force
equation of motion is given as:
From the theory of the solution of ODEs (Diff-Eq class), search xp(t) like
Therefore,
5
Then solution of IVP can be expressed in one of the following two forms:
Tells you what you gain by the fact that you excite the system at a
certain frequency (like in F0 cos t )
Gain (Magnification)

Define ratio
Regime 1 & 2
Rely on LHospitals rule to get insight into the response of the system
Solution becomes
