Question 1
What happens to mode shapes in damped systems?
- Remain orthogonal
- Couple and may become complex
- Become totally independent
💡 Hint: Recall how damping introduces interaction between modes.
Question 2
True or False: Classical damping leads to coupled modal equations.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between damping and mode independence.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building has a fundamental frequency of 1 Hz and a damping ratio of 0.3. What type of damping does it exhibit, and how would it generally behave under dynamic loads?
💡 Hint: Remember the definitions of damping types.
Question 2
Analyze a system with non-classical damping. If mode shapes are coupled, what implications does this have for the design of structures in seismic zones?
💡 Hint: Consider how design requires knowledge of mode interactions for proper seismic performance.
