Response to periodic dynamic loadings and impulse loads are also discussed, as are two degrees of freedom linear system response methods and free vibration of multiple degrees of freedom.

Since both tsunami and earthquakes involve different types of waves, a discussion about waves ... Since Algebra 1 students have probably not studied periodic functions, it may be useful to graph a sine wave on an overhead graphing calculator, and label the wavelength and wave height, and briefly discuss period and amplitude.

We wish to investigate the shear stress on a structural girder of a tall building that is being designed to withstand the effects of earthquakes. ... Assume that this girder is in equilibrium at rest when an earthquake strikes, exerting an exponentially decaying periodic shear stress of 10e-t, which repeats every 2 seconds.

Here, we propose a simple conceptual model for the influence of periodic processes on the frequency of geophysical “failure events” such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
