Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam has a stiffness (EI) of 1000 N·m² and a density (ρ) of 7800 kg/m³. Calculate its natural frequency if the cross-sectional area is 0.01 m².

💡 Hint: Keep the units consistent while calculating.

Question 2

Discuss a situation in which Rayleigh's Method would not provide an accurate estimate of a structure's natural frequency.

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of proper assumptions in modeling.
