Question 1
Given a cantilever beam with a uniform mass distribution, derive the equations for both mass and stiffness normalization for its first mode shape.
💡 Hint: Consider the parameters of uniform mass and the boundary conditions.
Question 2
Evaluate how the lack of normalization could lead to misinterpretation in structural performance assessments in seismically active regions.
💡 Hint: Think about how unstandardized measurements affect safety analysis.
