Question 1

What defines Rayleigh damping?

  • A method related solely to mass
  • A method combining mass and stiffness
  • A method restricted to viscous models

💡 Hint: Think about how this method simplifies modeling in structural dynamics.

Question 2

True or False: Real damping behavior can often be modeled accurately with linear equations.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the behavior of materials in dynamic loading scenarios.
