Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A bridge's frequency response shows a distinct peak at 2 Hz. After testing, engineers observe the resonance frequency shifts to 1.8 Hz. Discuss the potential implications of this shift regarding structural health.
💡 Hint: Consider how resonance relates to structural integrity.
You collect vibration data from a machine running at 50 Hz but notice additional frequencies at 5 Hz and 10 Hz in the spectrum. Propose a method to analyze these unintended frequencies and what they might indicate.
💡 Hint: Think about how filtering can help clarify your data.
