Question 1
What does modal decomposition involve in structural analysis?
- Combining all modal responses
- Expressing total displacement as a sum of mode shapes
- Ignoring higher modes
💡 Hint: Think about what we do with the total displacement.
Question 2
True or False: Orthogonality ensures that mode shapes can interfere with each other during vibration.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Remember what orthogonality signifies.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a multi-degree-of-freedom structure with natural frequencies at 5 Hz, 10 Hz, and 15 Hz, how would close frequencies complicate modal analysis?
💡 Hint: Think about the importance of accurately resolving modes.
Question 2
A structure has been modeled using modal analysis but only the first two modes were considered. Discuss the consequences.
💡 Hint: What might be the engineering implications of ignoring higher modes?
