← ScienceWhich risk increases when a tuned mass damper's restoring force function degrades?
A)Resonance induced structural amplification✓
B)Reduced damping of target frequencies
C)Accelerated wear of elastomeric bearings
D)Increased sensitivity to wind loading
💡 Explanation
Resonance can amplify structural oscillations because a faulty restoring force alters the damper's resonant frequency into that of applied external environmental vibrations of the structure; therefore resonance is the answer rather than other specific damper failures affecting wear.
