The derived constants were pasted into the program V2Ctwodof5c.m and used for the evaluation of eqs.
(5.193) describing the time distributions of both particle displacements. The results are compared with
those obtained by numerical solutions of equations of motion (5.167). The program V2Ctwodof5c.m uses the
Newmark method (see the function VTRnewmd.m) and the method of central differences (see the function
VTRcedif.m).
The comparison of results is presented on the following pages. There are several identifiers
accompanying the figures, namely

Figure 5.35: Transient response of a 2 dof's system - the step of integration is too big
The Fig. 5.35 shows the data obtained with time step h = 0.1 which is clearly unreasonable. The results
are shown here to 'prove' that the Newmark method with gamma = 0.5, as a representative of
unconditionally stable implicit methods, does not fail using too big time steps; it gives the results,
however, in which the contents of high frequency components are evidently filtered-out. But what else
could we expect when marching in time in steps that are twice as big as the period of the fastest
harmonics. See the value of hmts parameter which is of the order of 0.5. It should be emphasized that the
notion of unconditional stability has no relation to the precision of results. The method of central
differences - as a representative of conditionally explicit methods - fails. It simply numerically explodes since the used time step is substantially greater than the critical time step tmin.
Figure 5.36 shows the data obtained with time step h = 0.01. The errors of numerical solutions are
smaller, but there is still visible a phase shift error of opposite signs for both numerical integration
methods as before.

Figure 5.36: Response of a 2 dof's system - a time step showing the amplitude and time shift
errrors
Finally, Fig. 5.37 presents the results calculated with time step h = 0.001. This time, of about 50 time steps
are carried out within the period of the fastest harmonics.
