What is resonance?
Think about how oscillation increases with matching frequencies.
What does SDOF stand for?
Remember the simplified model of dynamic systems.
What is the primary risk associated with resonance in SDOF systems?
Think about the consequences of vibrations matching the natural frequency.
True or False: The natural frequency of a system remains constant regardless of mass and stiffness.
Recall how the properties of a structure influence its dynamics.
A base-isolated building has a natural frequency of 2 Hz. An earthquake wave has a dominant frequency of 2 Hz. Analyze how this scenario might unfold and suggest preventative measures.
Consider how to change the frequency or structural response.
Evaluate a scenario where two adjacent buildings have different natural frequencies but face the same earthquake loading. Discuss the implications for structural integrity.
Think about how varying building properties influence responses to external loads.
