    CE 620A: STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS


    ASSIGNMENT # 2
    (Due August 22, 2022)

    1. Consider a single degree‐of‐freedom system with mass m = 1 kg and linear dashpot with damping 
    coefficient C  = 100 N‐s/m subjected to  initial displacement of 1 cm as shown the following figure.  
    Consider the following undamped natural frequencies wn:  10, 25, 50, 100, 500 rad/s and draw plots 
    of time versus displacement with dt = 0.001 and for a total duration of 2 sec. Comment on the results.  
     

     
     
    2. A cantilever stepped beam made of two circular sections has a lumped point mass at x = L, as shown 
    in  the  following  figure.  Assume  that  the  mass  of  the  beam  can  be  ignored,  derive  the  differential 
    equation of motion and obtain period of oscillation. 

    Massless stepped beam

     
     
    3. Determine the natural frequency for the system shown in the following figure. Assume springs to be 
    massless and joints to be frictionless.  
     
     

    Rigid massless bar

     
       
    4. A bead of mass m is suspended on a massless string as shown in the following figure. Assuming that 
    the string is subjected to tension T, and that this tension does not change throughout the motion, and 
    derive the differential equation for small motions from equilibrium, as well as the natural frequency 
    of oscillation.
