We notice that as became larger, the DC term became smaller. Since the term represents
average value of the whole signal, then we can say that as gets larger, then the average
becomes smaller. This means the energy of the signal becomes smaller as becomes
larger.
2.7.2.1 Verification using Matlab ffteasy.m
From above, we found for

To verify the result with ffteasy.m using , Using , and using . This below shows the
result for and we see that the DC term agrees, and that complex component of also
agrees. The real parts are little larger than what I obtained using the above. This
might be a scaling issue, and I was not able to determine the reason for it at this
time.

Using integration by parts , letting and then hence
Now we do the second integral .
Integration by parts, , letting and then hence
But was solved before and its results is Eq 2.1, hence
Putting all the above together, we obtain as

To verify the above, here is a plot for different number of fourier series terms showing that
approximation improves as increases. This was done for and for seconds.
2.7.3.1 Part(a)
The equation of motion is
From earlier, we found that fourier series approximation to is
Let Then above can be simplified to

Hence, let
Hence Eq 2.1 becomes
Hence
Let
Where in the above where is which means it is the fundamental frequency of the forcing
function and is the natural frequency.
Then Eq ?? becomes
And the steady state solution becomes
Now we can answer the question. When then reduces to , hence
So the displacement will be resonant when or or
Hence
Hence meter/sec will each cause resonance. To verify, here is a plot of with no damper for speed
near resonance and comparing this for speeds away from resonance speed. This plot shows that
when speed is close to any of the above speeds, then the displacement becomes very large.
Once the speed is away from those values, then quickly comes down to steady state
value.

To verify, here is a plot of the above, using and sec for seconds. This shows as more terms are
added, the approximation becomes very close to the function. At the approximation appears
very good.
Now we need to write as sum of exponential to answer the question.

The largest will occur when the denominator of the above is smallest. Plotting the
modulus of the denominator for different values shows that is the values which makes it
minimum.
This happens since for any the denominator will become larger due to and hence will become
smaller. So will be used.
For , we obtain

From the above we see that most of the energy in the response will be contained in and adding
more terms will not have large effect on the response shape. This is confirmed by the plot that

We see from the above plot, that does not change too much as more terms are added, since when
, then for contains most of the energy, hence adding more terms did not have an
effect.

The largest will occur when the denominator of the above is smallest. Similar to above, we can
either find which minimizes the denominator (by taking derivative and setting it to zero and
solve for ) or we can make a plot and see how the function behaves. Making a plot shows
this
From the above we see that the smallest value of the denominator happens when .

Here is a plot of the above for seconds for different values of
We see now that after that the response did not change much by adding more terms, this is
because more of the energy are contained in the first 3 harmonics with being the the
largest.
