A spring-mass-damper system is driven by a triangular wave forcing function as described by the equation: mx.. + Rx. + Scx, where
f(t) = A8/Π2 ∑n=1∞ (-1)n/ (2n-1)2 sin(ω1[2n-1]t)
See the waveform sketch below. Hint: You know the frequency-dependent mechanical impedance of a mass-spring-damper system, and you know that superposition applies.
(a.) Find the real-valued velocity response v(t) = dx/dt.
(b.) Is the output v(t) also a triangular wave? Explain briefly.
(c.) What is the mean square velocity v^2.
(d.) Find the average power W dissipated per cycle.
