Vibration Responses for SDOF System: I – Free and Forced Vibrations with and without Damping
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis and clearly explains the responses of vibrating system having single degree of freedom (SDOF), which involved to free and forced vibrations with and without damping. Detailed analysis is given and led to obtaining an analytical closed-form solution. Important results are observed and discussed in the paper. The concepts can be used as a basic to model a more complex system using the multidegree of freedom (MDOF) suitable for numerical techniques.
