A system with an applied force is system with a
forced vibration, or harmonically excited vibration.
The general differential equation describing this
system is:
𝑚 + 𝑐 + 𝑘 = 𝐹 sin(𝜔𝑡
Note that ω is the input frequency.
For undamped systems, if the input frequency
matches the natural frequency of the system, the
system’s oscillations will continue to grow. This
would result in catastrophic failure of the system.
The system does not require initial conditions in
order to be moving. If there were no initial
conditions, the system would start at the steady-
state solution.
Parts of the Solution:
The total response of the solution has two parts:
Homogenous solution
Particular/steady-state solution

natural frequency of the total assembly is 160 Hz and its damping ratio is 0.1. An unbalance in the motor
armature causes a harmonic force F(t) = 100 sin 31.4t. Determine the vibration response of the block.
This system can be analyzed as:
Free or forced.
Damped or undamped.
As previously, they can be solved as
ODEs or using Laplace.
Consider the above system, where f(t) = c 1
= c 2
= 0. This system would be considered undamped with
free vibration. The system would therefore need initial conditions in order to have motion.
The systems set of input-output equations are:

When the natural frequencies of the system are found (usually there are two), the relative amplitudes
can be found using the transfer function. By setting one of the variables to 1 and solving for the other,
the mode shape can then be sketched for each value of ω.

Solve for x 1
(t) and x 2
(t) by applying inverse Laplace on X 1
and X 2
For mode shapes, divide the coefficient in front of the sine/cosine function in x 1
(t) to its
corresponding sine/cosine function in x 2
(t). This will solve for X 1
assuming X 2
For More General Solutions:
For free vibration of damped systems, use the substitution of = Xe
i𝜔𝑡
For forced vibration of either damped or undamped, use Cramer’s Rule. Note that simplifying
the determinant of the denominator may be difficult due to higher order polynomials.
