Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A bridge experiences vibrations with an initial amplitude of 15 cm that reduces to 3 cm after 8 cycles. Calculate the logarithmic decrement and damping ratio, ξ. Discuss the significance.
💡 Hint: Focus first on calculating δ before moving to the damping ratio.
Question 2
During a vibration test, a mechanical element has its amplitude drop from 0.8 m to 0.05 m over 5 cycles. Determine δ, ξ, and evaluate its implications for structural integrity.
💡 Hint: Extract δ before applying it in the damping ratio equation.
