Structural Dynamics
For to be valid for all t, the coefficients of the sine and cosine terms on
the two sides of the equation must be equal. This requirement gives two
equations in C and D

For lightly damped systems the sinusoidal term is small and ωDωn; thus
Response of three
systems—ζ =0.01,
0.05, and 0.1—to
sinusoidal force of
frequency ω=ωn;
u(0)=˙
…
The lighter the damping, the larger is the number of cycles required to
reach a certain percentage of uo, the steady state amplitude. For example,
the number of cycles required to reach 95% of uo is 48 for ζ =0.01, 24 for ζ
=0.02, 10 for ζ =0.05, 5 for ζ =0.10, and 2 for ζ =0.20.
Maximum Deformation and Phase Lag
The steady-state deformation of the
system due to harmonic force, can
be rewritten as
u(t)=uo sin(ωt−φ)=(ust)o.Rd sin(ωt−φ)
The phase angle φ, which defines the time by which the response lags behind the
force
