Question 1.
What type of damper uses fluid viscosity?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how fluids resist motion.
Question 2.
Which dampers are known for being economical and simple?
Show hintHide hint
They rely on the friction between surfaces.
3Question 3.
Which type of damper uses fluid viscosity to resist motion?
- Viscous Dampers
- Friction Dampers

Show hintHide hint
Consider their material properties.
Question 5.
Design a hypothetical scenario where a structure experiences significant seismic activity. Which type of damper would you choose and why?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the structure's importance and how often it might face seismic challenges.
Question 6.
Discuss the factors that might lead to the failure of viscoelastic dampers in a very cold climate. What would you recommend?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how temperature affects material properties.
