5 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define what is meant by a Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) system.
Think about how many coordinates define the motion.
Name two time-stepping methods discussed in this section.
They're both key methods for incremental calculations.
What are the two primary time-stepping methods used in SDOF analysis?
Recall the methods mentioned in the section.
True or False: A Fourier Transform helps analyze only time-domain data.
Think about the data transformation context.
Analyze the response of a cantilever beam with a mass at the top when subjected to a sinusoidal loading condition using the Newmark-beta method. Include initial conditions and parameter values.
Start with the beam's properties and define how the external sinusoidal force is applied.
Compare the effectiveness of time-stepping methods versus frequency domain methods in predicting response during non-constant seismic events.
Consider situations where ground motion varies significantly over time.
