Structural dynamics
Question 1:
ANS: Differentiate Static analysis and Dynamic analysis.
Force displacement system
damping force
equation of motion -an external force
equation of motion -earthquake excitation
undamped free vibration systems,
viscously Damped free damping
Dynamic analysis:
response spectrum concept,
deformation,pseudo-velocity, and pseudo-acceleration response spectra
peak structural response from the response spectrum.
Quetion:2
ANS: Explain the following with the relevant force-displacement graph
- Elastic behavior
3. Explain Mass, Stiffness & Damping components in the equation of motion.
ANS:
Stiffness, damping, and mass components
.The SDOF system can be viewed as a combination of three pure, independent systems:
-the stiffness component: the frame without damage or mass. The external force Fs on the stiffness component is related to velocity by fd = cv
-the mass component of the roof mass without the stiffness or damping of the frame. the external force fi on the mass component is related to the acceleration by fi = mu
Damping force Fo is related to the velocity across the linear viscous by FD = Cu.
Quetion:4
ANS:
Time period (T) is the amount of time an oscillating body takes to repeat itself, and Frequency (f or ν) is the number of times it repeats in one second or unit of time.
If you measure time in s (seconds) then the frequency is measured in Hz (cycles or periods per second).
Frequency is inversely proportional to the time period. f=1T.
Natural frequency, also known as eigenfrequency, is the frequency at which a system tends to oscillate in the absence of any driving force.
Quetion:5
ANS:
Response spectrum
1. A plot of the peak value of a response quantity(u,v, and a) as a function of the natural vibration period Tn of the system, is called the response spectrum for that quantity.
2. Each such plot is for an SDF system having a fixed damping ratio and several such plots for different values of z are included to cover the range of damping values encountered in actual structures.
3. the response spectrum can be of 3 types. the deformation response spectrum is a plot of peak u. against Tn for fixed z. similar plot peak u is the relative velocity response spectrum, and peak u, is the acceleration response spectrum.
PSEUDO - ACCELERATION RESPONSE SPECTRUM
1. pseudo acceleration for an sdf system with natural frequency Wn is related to its peak deformation D=Uo due to earthquake ground motion.
A= W2D=((2X PIE)/Tn)^2 D
2. The quantity A has units of acceleration and is related to the peak value of base shear Vbo(Just another name for the peak value of the equivalent static force fso)
Vbo=Fso = mA.
