Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a cantilever beam with an uneven mass distribution. Calculate the first three mode shapes for this beam and discuss how an uneven mass may affect its dynamic behavior.
💡 Hint: Utilize principles of vibration modes to evaluate the scenarios.
Question 2
Analyze the modal participation factors for a 3-DOF system subjected to seismic loading. How do you interpret these factors in terms of structural design?
💡 Hint: Consider what it means for each mode's contribution to the response.
