2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does SDOF stand for?
Think about how many coordinates are used in this model.
List one application of SDOF models.
Consider how we analyze structures during earthquakes.
What is the primary benefit of using SDOF models in earthquake engineering?
Consider what makes them a starting point in education.
True or False: SDOF models can effectively represent the detailed behavior of all structures.
Reflect on the limitations discussed in class.
Evaluate how an SDOF model of a building with a mass of 2000 kg and a stiffness of 8000 N/m behaves under an external force of 500 N. Calculate the displacement.
Use Hooke's law to relate force and displacement.
Critique an SDOF model applied to a multi-story building, discussing its implications for accuracy in seismic analysis.
Consider the differences between simplified and detailed structural behavior.
