Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze the response of a cantilever beam with a mass at the top when subjected to a sinusoidal loading condition using the Newmark-beta method. Include initial conditions and parameter values.

💡 Hint: Start with the beam's properties and define how the external sinusoidal force is applied.

Question 2

Compare the effectiveness of time-stepping methods versus frequency domain methods in predicting response during non-constant seismic events.

💡 Hint: Consider situations where ground motion varies significantly over time.
