In the vibration testing of a structure, an impact hammer with a load cell to measure the impact force is used to cause

excitation as shown in figure. Assume that the mass of the structure as 5 kg, stiffness k is 2000 N/m, damping coefficient c is 10 Ns/m and the impulse F is 20 Ns. Find the response of the system a) For a single impact b) For a double impact with period t=0.2 s and the impulse due to second impact is half of the first impact. Given: m=5kg c=10Ns/m k=2000N/m F1=20Ns F2=10Ns t=.2 s Case a) Response of the system for a single impact,
