Question
For a dynamical system governed by the equation,
the damping ratio ζ is equal to . The displacement x of this system is measured during a hammer test. A displacement peak in the positive displacement direction is measured to be 4 mm. Neglecting higher powers (> 1) of the damping ratio, the displacement at the next peak in the positive direction will be _______ mm (in integer).
Answer :
Correct answer is : 2
damping ratio ζ = = 0.1103
initial peak displacement x = 4 mm
Logarithmic decrement
δ = 0.693
= e0.693 = 2.0085
x1 = xo / 2.0085 = 4/2.0085
x12
