Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a damping coefficient of 20 Ns/m and a maximum velocity of 8 m/s, calculate the maximum damping force. Discuss what that means for structural design.
💡 Hint: Use the damping force equation.
Question 2
A structure is designed to resist earthquake forces with a damping ratio of 0.5. How does this ratio affect its performance compared to a structure with a damping ratio of 0.2?
💡 Hint: Compare the effects of different damping ratios on performance.
