Q1: Figure Q1 shows a structural frame with rigid cap beam AB vibrating horizontally. The
beam is supported vertically by three columns (AE, GF and BH) and restrained horizontally
by a system of horizontal steel tubes (BC and CD) supported by another vertical column (CI).
Apart from the steel tubes, all other structural members may be assumed not to deform
axially.
Figure Q1
a) Sketch the development of the equivalent SDOF system for horizontal vibration of
beam AB
b) Using the notation provided, derive expression for the undamped natural frequency
corresponding to the horizontal vibration of the cap beam.
c) Using the developed expression and the following design data, calculate the natural
frequency of this SDOF system in the horizontal direction
m’=12,000 kg/m
E=210 GPa
I=104170 cm4
D=0.5 m; d=0.4 m
h1=4 m; h2=6 m

frictionless pivot. For small vertical vibrations of the point mass:
Figure Q2
a) Derive expression for the damping ratio.
b) Derive expression for damped natural frequency.
c) Derive expression for the critical damping coefficient.
Note: all expressions should be given in terms of variables m, c and k, describing the physical
properties of the system, and p, q and r relating to the geometry of the system. There are no
specific numerical values associated with these six variables.

Q3: In a type approval test, a helicopter (Figure Q3) is dropped under gravity from a height,
ℎ, with its rotors stationary. The pilot's seat is mounted on springs of combined stiffness 𝑘,
and of dampers of combined rate 𝑐. The combined mass of the (dummy) pilot and seat is 𝑚.
Figure Q3
a) Using clear sketches and maximum 100 words, show that the equation of motion of the
pilot and seat after impact with the ground, which occurs at t=0 s, is:
𝑚𝑥̈(𝑡) + 𝑐𝑥̇(𝑡) + 𝑘𝑥(𝑡) = 0
with the following initial conditions: 𝑥(0) = −
𝑚𝑔
𝑘
and 𝑥̇(0) = √2𝑔ℎ, the positive
coordinate direction being as shown in Figure Q3. In the given equation of motion 𝑥(𝑡) is
the dynamic displacement from the static equilibrium position of mass 𝑚 after the
helicopter strikes the ground.
b) Consider the case where m=100 kg, k=2.5x105 N/m, c=3000 Ns/m and h=5 m. Using NDOF
software, calculate the maximum displacement, velocity and acceleration experienced by
the pilot after the helicopter strikes the ground. Present relevant annotated NDOF plots
indicating maximum values calculated during the first 1 s after the helicopter strikes the
ground.
c) Compare the acceleration calculated under b) with that which would be obtained without
dampers. Use a pair annotated plots NDOF for this comparison. Explain in no more than 50
words the effect of damping and lack of it for this particular structural dynamics design
problem.
d) What would be the maximum acceleration of the pilot if the spring stiffness were reduced
to 6x104 N/m with no dampers fitted? Use NDOF plots to compare the undamped responses
under c) and d). In no more than 50 words describe advantages and disadvantages of using a
softer spring?

Figure Q3(a) shows a finite element model of a floor structure featuring six floor panels,
each panel being 8 m long and 4.5 m wide. Therefore, the total length of the floor plate is
