Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure is subjected to dynamic loads resulting in a velocity of 1.5 m/s. If the damping coefficient is 150 Ns/m, calculate the damping force and explain its significance in mitigating vibrations.

💡 Hint: Use the formula F = c * x˙ to find the answer.

Question 2

Consider a building with an undamped frequency of 1.0 Hz. If viscous damping is added, discuss how this affects the system's response to seismic loads.

💡 Hint: Think about how damping affects amplitude and energy dissipation in the system.
