For the following mechanical system, construct the block diagram model and find the transfer function, x/f.





What will be an ideal response?








Observe that at zero frequency, D=0 , the transfer function reduces to . At this frequency the damper effectively removes the entire right side of the circuit because it is “actuated” by speed, not displacement.
