The first Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington crossed over a strait in Puget Sound. At the time the suspension bridge was built, construction workers noticed that it moved up and down in the wind. Measures to stop the bridge’s movement were ineffective, but the bridge was opened to the public on July 1, 1940. The bridge collapsed on November 7, 1940. Luckily, no people were seriously injured. Determine which technological design criteria the Tacoma Narrows Bridge did and did not meet. Explain your answer.

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
