Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building's effective modal mass is calculated as follows for three contributing modes: Mode 1 (M_eff1 = 0.4), Mode 2 (M_eff2 = 0.36), Mode 3 (M_eff3 = 0.25). What is the cumulative effective modal mass? Next, if the total mass of the building is 1000 kg, how much mass is effectively accounted for?
💡 Hint: Add up the effective masses first.
Question 2
If a system shows a modal participation factor of 0.9 and the effective modal mass calculated is 500 kg for the first mode, what is the effective modal mass considering all factors?
💡 Hint: Calculate it step by step using the squared participation factor.
