Solving Second Order Differential Equation !

Hi, Im trying to solve and plot the solution for a second order differential equation. After some study, I made the following code:
%--------------------------------------------------
function xp = myfunc(t,x)
% x''+2*ep*w*x'+w^2*x+d*x'*abs(x')=0
w = (2*pi)/10.8814;
ep = 0.196;
d = -0.271;
xp = zeros(2,1);
xp(1)= x(2);
xp(2)= -((2*ep*w)*x(2)+(w^2*x(1))+d*abs(x(2))*x(2));
end
%---------------------------------------------------
And
%-----------------------------------
clc;
tr=0:0.1:393;
initialvalues=[17.66 0];
[t,x]=ode45('myfunc',tr,initialvalues);
plot(t,x(:,1));
%----------------------------------
The expected plot is a damped sine wave. Im not able to get it.
Any advise on what Im missing here will be great.
Thanks and Regards SLS

hi,
The damped oscillation can be obtained by changing the sign of the constant d :
d=0.271;

Its a typo I didnt notice. Should have checked it.
Anyway Thank you.
