Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building has a damping coefficient (c) of 5, a mass (m) of 2000 kg, and stiffness (k) of 10000 N/m. Calculate the damping ratio.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for damping ratio given in the text.
Question 2
Consider a structure entering critical damping. If its damping ratio is at 1, what would be the output response curve, and how does it compare to an overdamped system?
💡 Hint: Think of how each type affects the duration of the motion after the disturbance.
