Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure experiences a seismic load that input utilizes 5000 J of energy. If the system has a total potential energy of 1500 J and kinetic energy of 1000 J, how much energy is dissipated due to damping?

💡 Hint: Use the energy balance formula.

Question 2

How does the rate of energy dissipation affect the vibrational frequency of a system? Discuss its implications for designing earthquake-resistant structures.

💡 Hint: Consider how damping changes structural responses.
