In electrical engineering, a steady-state response is the electrical response of a system at equilibrium. The steady-state response does not necessarily mean the response is a fixed value. An AC power supply has no fixed voltage on the output but the output is steady (a voltage of a fixed frequency and voltage).
The steady-state response follows the transient response. It is also sometimes referred to as the forced response in systems involving damping, though this is not an entirely accurate description. The forced response of a system has both transient and steady-state components.
The two classical ways of decomposing the systems are as described by these equations:
Complete Response = Natural Response + Forced Response
Complete Response = Transient Response + Steady-state Response
