Since {a k,i }, {b k,i }, {I c,i (t)}, and {I s,i (t)} are known, the time histories of the
displacements {x k (t)}, k = 1, . . . , m, result by elementary calculations.
Example 2.16 Consider an oscillator with natural frequency ω = π , damping ratio
ζ = 0.05, and mass m = 1 which is at rest at the initial time. The system is subjected
to a family of two forcing functions {f k,n (t)}, k = 1, 2, given by Eq. 2.73 with
n = 3, a 1,0 = a 2,0 = 0,
a 1,1 , a 1,2 , a 1,3

b 1,1 , b 1,2 , b 1,3

a 2,1 , a 2,2 , a 2,3

b 2,1 , b 2,2 , b 2,3
= (2, 1, 3).
The solid and dashed lines in the left panel of Fig. 2.16 are the functions I c,i (t)
and I s,i (t) for ν 1 = 2 π/τ , τ = 10, ν i = i ν 1 , i = 2, 3. The heavy and thin lines in
the right panel of the figure are the solutions x 1 (t) and x 2 (t) for these two forcing
functions. These solutions result from I c,i (t) and I s,i (t) by elementary calculations.
