Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a building with a damping ratio of 5% and subjected to an earthquake, discuss how increasing this ratio to 8% might alter its response.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between damping and oscillation.
Question 2
Design an experiment using different materials to measure how hysteretic damping behaves under varying cyclic loading conditions.
💡 Hint: Think about how changes in material will impact their hysteretic behavior.
