Arrange the following steps of designing an isolation system in order.

1. Assume a displacement   2. Compute effective stiffness and damping   3. Read the spectrum at the isolated period   4. Check convergence of the displacement

  • A.2, 1, 3, 4
  • B.3, 1, 2, 4
  • C.1, 3, 2, 4
  • D.1, 2, 3, 4

Answer: D

Correct answer: 1, 2, 3, 4

The procedure is iterative because the properties depend on the answer. A displacement is assumed; the effective stiffness and damping at that displacement follow; the spectrum is read at the resulting period to give a new displacement; and the loop is repeated until the assumed and computed values agree. Nothing later can be evaluated before the step above it, which fixes the order.
