Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure is subjected to ground motion defined by an acceleration history. Apply Duhamel's Integral to predict the displacement at specific intervals.

💡 Hint: Start by identifying the function you need to integrate and the time span you are interested in.

Question 2

You are tasked with choosing between the Newmark-beta and Wilson-theta methods for a dynamic analysis. Determine which method you would use for a highly flexible structure and justify your choice.

💡 Hint: Think about the specific demands of the structure and the strengths of each method.
