2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What are mass and stiffness matrices?
Consider their roles in structural response.
Define eigenvector in your own words.
Think about their behavior with matrices.
What is the primary purpose of eigenvectors in earthquake engineering?
Think about what helps structures withstand dynamic loads.
True or False: The stiffness matrix influences the eigenvectors of a structure.
Consider what contributes to a structure's ability to resist deformation.
Given a specific mass matrix and stiffness matrix of a simple structure, compute the eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Discuss the implications of these results on potential structural responses during seismic events.
Solve the determinant of the matrix equation (A - λI) = 0.
Research a recent earthquake event and discuss how eigenvectors may have affected the structural integrity of buildings in that area. Provide examples of specific structures.
Focus on buildings known for their design resilience or failures.
