Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a building with a hysteresis loop area of 800 J. If it experiences 10 cycles of loading, what total energy is dissipated?

💡 Hint: Multiply the area by the number of cycles.

Question 2

If a material's hysteretic damping coefficient is observed to decrease with increasing temperature, how could this impact the building design?

💡 Hint: Think about how temperature changes affect material properties.
