Hi Jamil,

g only depends on x'. We therefore define it as a function with one 

parameter (== x'). It is convenient using a Piecewise function for this.

Here is the code:

===================================

b = 5;

v = 0.2;

  u = 0.1;

tmax = 1;



g[der_?NumericQ] = Piecewise[{{b*v, der > v},

     {b*(der - u), Abs[der - u] < v},

     {-b*v, True}}];

eq = {

    x''[t] - x[t] + g[x'[t]] == 0,

    x[0] == 0, x'[0] == 0

    };

sol = x /. NDSolve[eq, {x}, {t, 0, tmax}][[1]];





Plot[sol[t], {t, 0, tmax}, AxesLabel -> {"t", "x[t]"}]

ParametricPlot[{sol[t], sol'[t]}, {t, 0, tmax},

  AxesLabel -> {"x[t]", "x'[t]"}]

=============================================
