In this article, we consider the dynamic Casimir-Polder force between an atom and a conducting wall in a one-dimensional cavity. Using quasimode theory to describe the dissipation of the electromagnetic fields in the cavity, our investigation shows that the force oscillations are damped in a short time, and tend to a final, steady, negative value. We discuss in detail the effects on the force of the quasimode decay rate, the cavity size, and the atom-wall distance.
