Hey guys.
I've been studying forced oscillations and Ive come across something called the response function:
R(w) = (yw)^2 / ((w_o)^2 - w^2)^2 + (yw)^2
where w is the angular frequency of the force, w_o is the frequency of the oscillator that the force acts on, and y is the force constant over mass ( as in force is proportional to velocity of oscillator).
I cant find anything on this function. Could someone perhaps explain it or even provide a good link?
Thanks!:cool:
