Single degree of freedom system with quadratic damping.

Here, the equation of motion of the system can be written as
.........................................................................................(6.3.14)

Similar to viscous damping here also using KB method the solution can be written as

.........................................................................................................(6.3.15)

Here, a and β can be given by Eq. (6.3.5) and (6.3.6). Now using the expression for in Eq. (6.3.5) and (6.3.6), one may write

= ........................................................(6.3.16)

and (6.3.17)
