An SDOF system (m = 20 kg, k = 350 N/m) is given an initial displacement of
10 mm and initial velocity of 100 mm/s. (a) Find the natural frequency; (b) the
period of vibration; (c) the amplitude of vibration; and (d) the time at which the
third maximum peak occurs.
Ans: 0.666 Hz; 1.502 sec...
1.A 3 m high, 8 m wide single-bay single-storey frame is rigidly jointed with a
beam of mass 5,000 kg and columns of negligible mass and stiffness of EIc =
4.5×103 kNm2. Calculate the natural frequency in lateral vibration and its
period. Find the force required to deflect the frame 25 mm...
