Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a structure with a mass of 2500 kg, a damping ratio of 0.05, and a stiffness of 15000 N/m, write the complete equation of motion and discuss its implications.

💡 Hint: Start by calculating the damping coefficient and substituting values into the equation.

Question 2

How would increasing the stiffness from 15000 N/m to 25000 N/m affect the dynamic response of the system?

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between stiffness and the period of oscillation.
