Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A 10-meter beam is oscillating under a load that varies harmonically. Write the differential equation representing this oscillation and apply Laplace transforms to find its response over time.
💡 Hint: Remember to utilize standard forms for Laplace transformations.
Develop a theoretical model for a structure subjected to a sudden impact load, derive the equation of motion, and perform a Laplace transform to analyze the response.
💡 Hint: Think about the step response caused by an impulse.
