586 20. Vibration and Vibration ControlFigure 20.1. Model of a vibrating system with one degree of freedom.opposing the velocity. Viscous damping proportional to and opposite in directionto that of the velocity serves as a reasonable model in many situations. Moreover,this assumption is quite amenable to mathematical treatment. When f (t) is set tozero, Equation (20.1) describes the free, viscous-damped, one-degree-of-freedomsystem,m d2 xdt + C dx + kx = 0 (20.2)2 dtWe shall employ Laplace transforms to treat Equation (20.2). DividingEquation (20.2) by mass m and assuming for the moment that the initial conditionsare zero, we can write Equation (20.2) using the Laplace transform variable s, ass 2 X(s) + C m sX(s) + k m X(s) = sx(0) + ẋ(0) + C m x(0)or(s 2 + C m s + k ) (X(s) = s + C )x(0) + ẋ(0) (20.3)mmHere ẋ ≡ dx/dt. Setting the parenthesized term on the left-hand side ofEquation (20.3) to zero yieldss 2 + C m s + k m = 0which can be rewritten in the forms 2 + 2ξω n s + ωn 2 = 0 (20.4)
