Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are designing a tall building and must decide which time integration method to use for analyzing its response to seismic loads. Discuss your choice between Newmark-beta and Wilson-θ, considering specifics like stability and complexity.

💡 Hint: Assess the significance of stability versus computation speed.

Question 2

Given that Runge-Kutta methods can lead to high computational costs, present alternative strategies to balance accuracy and computational resource use in large MDOF analysis.

💡 Hint: Think of adjusting methods based on ongoing results.
