<strong>and</strong> the vector ‘y(:,2)’ gives the values of the angular velocity. To plot the angular velocity,<br />

change the variable ‘y(:,1)’ <strong>in</strong> the plot comm<strong>and</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e to ‘y(:,2)’.<br />

From the plots it can be seen that, quadratic damp<strong>in</strong>g causes a rapid <strong>in</strong>itial amplitude reduction<br />

but is less effective as time <strong>in</strong>creases <strong>and</strong> amplitude decreases. Whereas, l<strong>in</strong>ear damp<strong>in</strong>g is less<br />

effective <strong>in</strong>itially but is more effective as time <strong>in</strong>creases.
