Homework 01 Solution

This document contains the solution to a homework assignment on structural dynamics. It summarizes the free vibration response of an underdamped and critically damped system. For an underdamped system with mass of 5000 kg and spring constant of 20 MN/m, the natural frequency is calculated to be 63.25 r/s and period is 0.1 s. The free vibration response is given by an equation involving damped frequency, initial displacement and velocity. Graphs compare the response for damping ratios of 0 and 0.05. For a critically damped system, the response is given by a different equation involving initial conditions and damped frequency.
