Question 1

What is the primary cause of forced vibrations in structures?

  • Initial disturbances
  • Continuous external forces
  • Natural frequencies

💡 Hint: Think about what keeps a system moving after an initial push.

Question 2

True or False: Free vibrations can occur indefinitely in the absence of external damping.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what happens without any opposing forces.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a structure that failed during an earthquake, analyze how the absence of vibrational considerations in its design could have contributed to its failure.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how design measures could have mitigated these effects.

Question 2

Design a basic plan for a building that incorporates strategies to account for both free and forced vibrations.

💡 Hint: Think about the materials and engineering principles that enhance stability.
