Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A structure with a mass of 1500 kg and a damping coefficient of 30 Ns/m will be subjected to ground acceleration of 2 m/s². Write the equation of motion and describe the implications of ground acceleration on the structure.

💡 Hint: Remember the equation format and how to incorporate acceleration.

Question 2

If you reduce the mass of a structure significantly while keeping stiffness and damping constant, how will the equation of motion change? Discuss potential impacts.

💡 Hint: Discuss how reducing mass affects inertia within the context of dynamic loads.
