    3-073-EarthQuakePartII-ModelingScenario
    Your goal here is to determine how much friction/damping should be designed into a building to keep the roof from moving too far (which would result in the entire building collapsing) when it undergoes minor vibrations from a small earthquake.

    This modeling scenario considers a one-story building as a simple structure; the roof is modeled as a single point mass. Movement of the roof can be modeled similar to a mass-spring system.

    5-040-TunedMassDamper-Part-I-Modeling Scenario
    We offer an opportunity to build mathematical models to mitigate dangerous displacements in structures using structural improvements called Tuned Mass Dampers. We model the motion of the original structure as a spring-mass-dashpot system.
