Question 1

What characterizes non-classical damping?

  • It is proportional to mass and stiffness.
  • It complicates modal decoupling.
  • It can be ignored in dynamic analysis.

💡 Hint: Remember the differences between classical and non-classical damping.

Question 2

True or False: Non-classical damping allows for easy modal decoupling.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what happens when you cannot treat modes independently.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A high-rise building has been observed during an earthquake to experience coupled motion effects that result in non-classical damping. Propose a method of analysis suitable for this scenario.

💡 Hint: Reflect on numerical techniques you studied for complex structures.

Question 2

In a bridge subject to wind loads, non-classical damping effects are causing unexpected vibrations. Discuss a step-by-step approach to model and analyze this system.

💡 Hint: Think of the iterative process of modeling in engineering.
