Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a 5-storey building, with masses 500 kg, 600 kg, 700 kg, 800 kg, and 900 kg at each floor respectively, calculate the mass matrix [M] and the resulting forces if the uppermost mass displaces 0.2m during an earthquake.
💡 Hint: Consider how forces are based on displacement and mass.
Question 2
Create a detailed lumped mass model for a 3-storey frame structure with stiffness values of 12000 N/m between levels. If each level has a mass of 1000 kg, derive the equations of motion for this system.
💡 Hint: Focus on how stiffness affects dynamic response equations.
