Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a system with a known impulse response function h(t) = e^{-t} cos(2t), compute the response x(t) to an external force F(t) = sin(t) for 0 ≤ t ≤ 10.
💡 Hint: Don't forget to break down the convolution process step by step.
If a structure responds to an impulse at t=0 with a maximum displacement of 0.5m and then gradually decreases, describe how you would assess its performance using impulse response functions.
💡 Hint: Focus on data collection methods and modeling techniques.
