response, is possible when a vibratory system is ex-
cited by a harmonic force. Evaluate the work done by
the spring force and the work done by the damper
force, which are given by the integrals
2.29 For the system of Exercise 2.28, assume
k 1000 N/m, c 2500 N/(m/s), X
o
0.1 m, and
v 9 rad/s. Plot the graph of the sum of the spring
force and damper force versus the displacement; that
is, versus x.
2.30 For the system of Exercise 2.28, assume that
k 0, c 0, and v 0. Show that the graph of
versus x will have the form of an ellipse.
Section 2.4.2
2.31 Consider the viscous-damping model given by
Eq. (2.46) and the dry-friction model given by
Eq. (2.52). Sketch the force versus velocity graphs
in each case for the following parameter values: c
100 N/(m/s), m 100 kg, and m 0.1.
2.32 Normalize the linear viscous-damper force given
by Eq. (2.46) using the damping coefficient c, the dry
friction force given by Eq. (2.52) using mmg, the
fluid-damping force given by Eq. (2.54) using the
damping coefficient c
d
, and the hysteretic force
given by Eq. (2.57) using kpb
h
. Plot the time histories
of the normalized damper forces versus time
for harmonic displacement of the form x(t)
0.4sin (2pt) m. Discuss the characteristics of these
plots.
