Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What type of movement is involved in translational DOF?

  • Rotational
  • Straight-line
  • Both

💡 Hint: Consider if the motion is linear or circular.

Question 2

Coupled DOFs are present when translation and rotation are:

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Focus on the interaction between the two types of movement.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simple structure that must account for translational, rotational, and coupled DOFs. Describe how each type of freedom will affect its response to seismic activity.

💡 Hint: Consider how seismic forces impact tall buildings and what systems are needed to stabilize them.

Question 2

Evaluate a structure's performance. Given it has high torsional loads during an earthquake, discuss the implications of ignoring coupled degrees of freedom in your analysis.

💡 Hint: Think about how complex loads might interact and affect building safety.
