Description
A single-mass system with dashpot is subjected to a constant loading force F according to Figure 1.
Determine the deflection ux and the velocity u̇x of the dashpot endpoint at test time t = 1 s. The
problem is described by the following parameters.
Damping
c 100.000 Ns/m
Parameter
c ux (t)
x F

Analytical Solution
F
üx + 2cr 𝛺 u̇x + 𝛺 2 ux = . (120 – 2)
m
The homogeneous solution ux,hom (t) = C1 e u�1 t + C2 e u�2 t of (120 – 2) is then found through the
characteristic equation
