What does it mean for a model to be linear?
Think about how the forces and structural responses relate.
List one limitation of linear MDOF models.
Consider what happens to materials under extreme stress.
What is one of the key limitations of linear MDOF models?
Think about the behavior of materials under extreme load.
True or False: Linear MDOF models accurately represent the behavior of materials under severe ground motion.
Reflect on real-world structural failures.
Given that a building's design relies on a linear model, detail a scenario where this might lead to failure during an earthquake.
Reflect on real-world examples where buildings have failed under unexpected loads.
Explain how a lack of understanding of non-classical damping could impact the safety of a high-rise structure during an earthquake.
Consider the role damping plays in energy dissipation.
