MIL-HDBK-1007/3 For a very low frequency, this becomes a static load, and: u = F/k = As Asis the static response.

In the dynamic case, after the transient portion response has damped out, the steady state response becomes u = M As cos(t-p) In this equation M is called the dynamic amplification fac p is the phase angle. The dynamic amplification factor is ratio of the amplitude of the dynamic steady-state respons the static response and describes how effectively the SDOF amplifies or de-amplifies the input. The phase angle p in how much the response lags the input. Mathematical manipulation reveals that: 1 M = {(12 /o 2 ) 2 + [(2D)/o] 2 } 1/2 2D(/o) and p = tan -1 12 /o 2 The amplification factor M is plotted in Figure 7 (A). No the ratio of frequencies is the same regardless of whether are expressed in radian/second or cycles/second. When the problem involves rotating machinery, th amplitude of the driving force is proportional to the freq of the rotating machinery. If e is the eccentricity of th rotating mass and meis its mass, then the amplitude of the driving force becomes: F = me e 2 In this case the driving force vanishes when the frequency to zero, so it does not make sense to talk about a static response. However, at very high frequencies the accelerati dominates, so it is possible to define the high frequency response amplitude R:
