Excitation by Impulse20.4 Forced Vibration 597Impulse occurs very commonly as a cause of vibration excitation in the industrialenvironment. An impulse force is one that acts for a very short time. A hammeris an example that provides an impulse force. Such a force can be represented bythe Dirac delta function or distribution that has the following properties: considera pulse that starts at time t = ε and has width a and height 1/a. Let a approachzero, so that the pulse essentially approaches zero width and infinite height so that∫ ∞0δ(t − ε) dt = 1 0
