Assignment 1 Solution PDF

1) This document outlines an assignment for a structural dynamics course. It includes 9 questions about fundamental structural dynamics concepts like single degree of freedom systems, damping ratios, and Fourier transforms. 2) The first question involves calculating the time, velocity, and acceleration of a block on a spring that is struck by a hammer. 3) Other questions address determining total displacement of a mass in an SDF system subjected to support motion, modeling roadway deflection, damping ratios, instrument damping, and Fourier series and transform expansions.

CVG4142 – Structural dynamics

ASSIGNMENT# 1

DUE DATE: 14 FEBRUARY 2020–Submission: assignment box at mezzanine of CBY.

1) A 1.4-kg block is supported as shown by a spring of constant k= 400 N/m which can
act in tension or compression. The block is in its equilibrium position when it is struck
from below by a hammer which imparts to the block an upward velocity of 2.5 m/s.
Determine (a) the time required for the block to move 60 mm upward, (b) the
corresponding velocity and acceleration of the block.
