Damped driven harmonic oscillator in a steady state
Not what you're looking for?
In the limit as t goes to infinity the solution approaches
x(t)=Ksin[ω(t-t0)]
where K and t0 depend on ω (note: t0 = t subscript 0)
I am attempting to show that K(ω) = 1/(ω^4-ω^2+1)^1/2 and failing
My thoughts:
I believe that at t=0. The only important part of the general solution to the original equation is the exponential part (because e^0=1while as t increases (and eventually to the limit) only the particular solution is of importance
hence i have tried equating Ksin[ω(t-t0)] with the particular solution and failing.
