This document discusses forced vibration, which occurs when a body vibrates under the influence of an external force. There are three types of external excitation forces: periodic, impulsive, and random. For a spring mass system undergoing harmonic disturbances, the amplitude and maximum amplitude of forced vibration are given by formulas involving the excited force, phase lag, and angular velocity. Phase lag and magnification factor are also discussed. Forced vibration due to unbalance and support motion are described. Transmissibility and vibration isolation are then defined and different types are explained.
