Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a system with a natural frequency of 25 Hz. If an external force is applied at 40 Hz, calculate its transmissibility and discuss its implications.

💡 Hint: First find r, then apply the understanding of the zones.

Challenge 2 Hard

A force at 15 Hz causes a structure to vibrate at 30 Hz leading to increased damage. Calculate the transmissibility and suggest ways to mitigate these effects.

💡 Hint: How can engineers manage vibrations to ensure they stay within isolation?
