Shown below are three time histories for the free response of a single-DOF system with zero initial stretch in the spring and an initial velocity downward. These time histories correspond to damping ...

Recall from lecture that the total response is combination of the complementary solution and the particular solution. For harmonic excitation on a single-DOF system, this total response will be ...
