  1. This report evaluates the dynamic response of structures using designed 3D-printed components. It is divided into four challenges, where each addresses different aspects of structural dynamics. Challenge 1 involves designing a wheel that can achieve a low angular acceleration, while exploring the principles of rotational motion. In Challenge 2, a shake table is created using a reciprocating motion system machine to convert rotational motion into linear or ground motion beneath a structure. Challenge 3 includes various free vibration tests conducted at a targeted natural frequency, achieved through the design of structural columns. Finally, Challenge 4 builds upon what was done in Challenges 2 and 3, by testing the structure’s displacement and transmissibility when subjected to forced vibrations generated by the shake table in Challenge 2.
