Question 1

What defines a Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) system?

  • It requires one coordinate to describe motion
  • It requires two coordinates
  • It has infinite degrees of freedom

💡 Hint: Think of how many coordinates are needed for a simple model.

Question 2

True or False: MDOF systems can model complex structures more accurately than SDOF systems.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the level of detail in each system.

Question 1

For a system modeled as SDOF, describe the approach to analyze its vibration under a single periodic force.

💡 Hint: Think about how the natural frequency plays a role in the response.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of assuming an MDOF system as an SDOF system for large buildings during earthquakes.

💡 Hint: Consider how energy might transfer through different parts of the building.
