STEADY-STATE AND TRANSIENT RESPONSES OF LINEAR STRUCTURES

A simple, computationally efficient procedure is presented with which the steady-state response of a discrete linear system to a periodic excitation may be computed from an analysis of its transient response over a single cycle of the excitation. The procedure also is adapted to the solution of the inverse problem, i.e. , to evaluate the transient response of the system from knowledge of its steady-state response to a periodic extension of the excitation. The procedures are introduced by reference to single degree of freedom systems.
