0.1 Damped response to Periodic forcing functions
• Damped eigenvalues and eigenvectors do not always match undamped case, but only
in some special cases like Proportional Damping
• However, we do not expect to always see proportional damping in the real world. So
we do not get eigenvectors that can decouple the system.
• In such cases, just ignore the off-diagonal term when they are small compared to those
on the diagonal after formal decoupling (Forced Decoupling)
Example:
Consider a simple 2DOF forced and damped mass- spring system Fig. 1
EOM:
In Matrix form:
" #" # " #" # " #" # " #
m1 0 ẍ1 c1 + c2 −c2 ẋ1 k1 + k2 −k2 x1 f1
+ + =
0 m2 ẍ2 −c2 c2 + c3 Ẋ2 −k2 k2 + k3 X2 f2

In a familiar form
M Ẍ + C Ẋ + KX = F (2)
Assume The forcing function is harmonic and using our earlier parameter values for mode

F = F̄ eiωt and = cos(ζt)
f¯2 −1

where ζ is the real part of eζit and ζ ≡ ω
We can assume a solutions:
X = X̄eiωt (3)
Plug in the Equation of motion to give,

X̄ = −ω 2 M + iωC + K
−ω M + iωC + K X̄ = F̄ → F̄ (4)
