Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have an SDOF system with a natural frequency of 3 rad/s. An applied force oscillates at 3.5 rad/s with an amplitude of 100 N. Discuss the potential impact of this frequency difference and calculate the expected amplitude of the response.

💡 Hint: Consider the impact of being close to the resonant frequency.

Question 2

Explain how to adapt your design if the expected loading frequency is too close to the natural frequency of your SDOF system. Provide an example.

💡 Hint: Think about how changing materials or shapes can alter frequency.
