I am somewhat confused about the amplitude of forced vibrations at non-resonance driving frequencies.

If I was to assume that there was no / negligible damping present, then at resonance, the amplitude of the harmonic oscillator would continue to grow with each oscillation?

If this is the case, then is this also true for driving forces that are not at resonance, or would the oscillator reach a constant amplitude?

Thanks

Amplitude of oscillations in non-resonant forced vibrations

I am somewhat confused about the amplitude of forced vibrations at non-resonance driving frequencies.

If I was to assume that there was no / negligible damping present, then at resonance, the amplitude of the harmonic oscillator would continue to grow with each oscillation?

If this is the case then is this also true for driving forces that are not at resonance, or would the oscillator reach a constant amplitude.
