Fourier Transforming the Damped and Forced Harmonic Oscillator
Here is the second-order ODE for a damped harmonic oscillator
Let's Fourier Transform the left-hand side of a second-order ODE:
And now Fourier Transform the right-hand side for a prototype "forced" oscillator with an arbitary frequency ω0. (i.e., K y'' + η y' + m y = cos(ω0 t)
