Abstract
While we in Chapter 1 focused on the basic mathematical methods of determining the structural properties of free vibrations, we shall now turn to the more realistic cases of including the effects of damping and the possibility of an external fluctuating force. However, in this chapter we limit ourselves to only consider the cases of single or two degrees of freedom systems, subject to a single harmonic force. Such a load case is virtually absent in the field of structural dynamics. Nonetheless, the case of a single harmonic force on simple systems is an illustrative overture to the ensuing chapters in this book. It is taken for granted that forces are rectilinear.
