The One Dimensional Damped Forced Harmonic Oscillator Revisited

arXiv:1102.4112 · doi:10.1088/0143-0807/32/2/010

Abstract

In this paper we give a general solution to the problem of the damped harmonic oscillator under the influence of an arbitrary time-dependent external force. We employ simple methods accessible for beginners and useful for undergraduate students and professors in an introductory course of mechanics.
