Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a linear system with mass m, damping coefficient c, and stiffness k, derive the Duhamel Integral expression for the system's response to a sinusoidal force F(t) = F₀ sin(ωt).

💡 Hint: Consider how the sine function influences the system's response over its period.

Question 2

Assuming a damping ratio ζ < 1, explain how the impulse response changes compared to critically damped and overdamped systems.

💡 Hint: Think about the differences in energy dissipation and speed of return to equilibrium.
