Mode Superposition Method — Lesson 2

In the previous lesson, we discussed the concept of mode superposition. Even though it is an approximate method, we will see how this concept can be used to predict the response of a structure accurately with the proper setup.

Consider a simple application of a diving board which flexes vertically before a diver jumps.

In this lesson, we will explore the details of the mode superposition method steps and apply them to the above example.
