Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a structure with specified mass and stiffness values, derive the system's response under a known oscillating force.

💡 Hint: Consider how mass, damping, and stiffness relate to displacement.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where neglecting damping in a seismic evaluation led to a failure in structural integrity. What measures would you recommend to rectify such an oversight?

💡 Hint: Reflect on past engineering failures due to inadequate design.
