    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.

    The heat equation is an important partial differential equation (PDE) which describes the distribution of heat in a given region over time. Numerical methods play an important role in solving these.

    We develop elementary approaches to numerically solving first order differential equations with Euler's Method, Improved Euler's Method and develop these geometrically to compute numeric solutions and compare them to analytic solutions.

    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.

    This module takes students through real life scenarios to examine resonance and its destructive power using differential equation models. What is resonance? How does it happen? Why is it important?

    3-105-FrequencyResponse-ModelingScenario
    We describe the frequency response to a second order differential equation with a driving function as the maximum steady state solution amplitude and perform some analyses in this regard.
