Question 1

What does the stiffness matrix (K) represent in structural dynamics?

  • Weight distribution
  • Resistance to deformation
  • Material properties

💡 Hint: Think about how materials behave under load.

Question 2

True or False: Eigenvectors can only represent one vibration mode in a system.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Relate this to how many ways structures can vibrate.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a two-story building represented by a simplified paper model. Using the principles discussed, predict how the building might behave during an earthquake and determine which mode shapes could be critical in your analysis.

💡 Hint: Think about how height and weight distribution might affect vibration.

Question 2

Analyze two scenarios: one where a structure has well-separated natural frequencies and another where frequencies are closely spaced. Discuss the implications on structural performance under dynamic loading.

💡 Hint: Consider why resonance can be a danger to structures.
