Problem 17
Determine the response of a standard mass-spring-damper system when it is subjected to a sinusoidal transition of duration \(t^{*}\) to a constant load of magnitude \(F_{0}\).
Problem 18
Determine the time history of the response of a standard mass-spring-damper system when it is subjected to a triangular pulse of magnitude \(F_{0}\) and total duration \(2 \tau\), when the ramp-up and ramp-down times are of the same duration.
