This document discusses the time response of second order systems. It begins by defining key terms like natural frequency, damped frequency, and damping factor. It then analyzes the time response based on the value of the damping factor, categorizing systems as underdamped, undamped, critically damped, or overdamped. Underdamped systems oscillate with decaying amplitude, undamped systems oscillate without decay, critically damped systems decay exponentially without oscillation, and overdamped systems decay exponentially with two distinct time constants. Equations for the time response are derived for each case.
