Abstract
A method to predict the dynamic response of a linear nonconservative system with nonsymmetric parameter matrices, due to a discretized forcing function is developed. The method is based on sampled-data techniques widely used in modern control theory. However, instead of appealing to the state space approach which recasts the equations of motion into a first order system, the numerical integration is attempted directly on the second order differential equations as given. Finally, a sample problem considered in a previous matrix exponential method is worked out by the method developed here. The results indicate that the approach is well-suited for problems where the input data is known in digitized form.
