Amplitude bounds of linear forced vibrations (Q1912046): Difference between revisions

Amplitude bounds of linear forced vibrations are presented for general damped linear vibrating systems. For transient, harmonic and step excitations, the presented amplitude bounds show simple relations to the system parameters, and are easy to calculate. The advantage is the possibility to judge the level of vibrations, and to choose appropriate parameters at design. Compared with the approximate underestimating amplitude bounds available in literature, the presented amplitude bounds overestimate the maximum amplitude and, therefore, can be safely applied to general damped vibrating systems.
