Motion of an Elastic System with SDOF Under the Action of a Force Varying According to Arbitrary Law

This chapter presents the motion of an elastic system with SDOF under the action of a force varying by arbitrary law. In this chapter, we will discuss the following: the reaction of a system with SDOF under impulsive and suddenly applied loads, the action of a sudden applied force of constant value, the action of a force growth according to linear law, the action of a suddenly applied force of constant value and suddenly terminated its action, short-term impulse of force, the action of periodic instantaneous impulses, and applicable problems and solutions.
