Question 1

What defines resonance in structural dynamics?

  • When vibrations cease
  • When external vibration matches natural frequency
  • When energy is minimized

💡 Hint: Consider the concept of frequency matching.

Question 2

True or False: High levels of damping make structures more vulnerable to resonance.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how damping affects oscillations.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure with a natural frequency of 2 Hz is subjected to ground motion with a predominant frequency of 2 Hz. Describe the behavior of the structure and possible outcomes.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens in resonance when frequencies match.

Question 2

If an engineer wants to lower a building's natural frequency from 3 Hz to 1.5 Hz, what changes in design could they implement?

💡 Hint: Consider how the natural frequency is affected by mass and stiffness.
