Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a vehicle going over a bumpy road. How does the vehicle's mass and the damping of its suspension affect the passenger's comfort during vibrations?
💡 Hint: Think about how heavier vehicles feel compared to lighter ones on the same road.
Design a model of a vibrating structure and describe how you would utilize mass, stiffness, and damping to ensure that it withstands typical seismic forces.
💡 Hint: Consider the balance of these elements to maintain safety.
