Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a provided MDOF system with 3 degrees of freedom. Sketch the mass and stiffness matrices based on given parameters.
💡 Hint: Use your understanding of mass and stiffness within the system layout.
Given a known external force is applied, compute the resultant displacements using the formed matrix equation: [M]{X}'' + [K]{X} = {F(t)}.
💡 Hint: Apply matrix operations carefully to isolate {X}.
