← TechnologyIn actively damped building beams, which consequence results when sensors misinterpret wind loading?
A)Increased unintended beam oscillation✓
B)Systematic sensor drift offsets
C)Reduced long-term material fatigue
D)Localized excessive material stiffening
💡 Explanation
If a sensor misinterprets wind loading as no load, the active damping system will under-compensate. Because the inherent **negative feedback control** is bypassed, unintended oscillations are amplified rather than suppressed; therefore leading to increased beam oscillation, rather than stabilization.
