Structural dynamics

1. Differentiate Static analysis and Dynamic analysis with proper representing pictures

A)

STATIC ANALYSIS

  • Static analysis can only be performed if the syste being simulated does not depend on time and if the loads being applied are constant.
  • Static analysis don't consider inertia.
  • Static referes to the force that has constant size, position and direction on or within a structure
  • There is no necessity to count inertia and damping forces in case of static anaysis,but the elastic force should be accounted

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS:

  • In dynamic analysis, the system itself , the load application or both might with time
  • The inertial force developed by the system due to accelaration are taken into account
  • Dynamic refers to a force on a structure that changes size, position or direction
  • In dynamic, two additional forces must be accounted such as inertia and damping force in equilibrum equation it can be disregarded in static analysis

2. Explain the following with relevant force-displacement graph (40 marks)

  1. Elastic behavior
  2. Inelastic behavior
  3. Plastic behavior
  4. Non-linear Inelastic behavior

A)

a. Elastic behavior:

  • Elastic, ablility of a deformed material body to return to its original shape when the foces causing the deformations are removed
  • A body with this ability is said to behave elastically
  • The theory of elesticity is used to design safe and stable man-made structure such as skyscrappers and overbridges to make kife convwnient
  • From graph it is clearly mensioned that upto certian point from O the graph is linear and shows elastic properties

b. Inelastic behavior:

  • Deformation material that does not disapper on the removal of force produced by it
  • Inelastic material will experience no elongaltion or deflection and up to its ultimate strength is reached will just rupture suddenly usually thourgh shear break
  • Example: wood , fabric etc..,
  • In graph in elastic behavior has been shown in the upper shape of the curve upto point "a"

c.Plastic behavior:

  • For stress beyond the elastic limit, a material exhibits plastic behavior.
  • This means the material deforms irreversibly and does not return to its original shape and size, even when the load is removed
  • When stress is gradually increased beyond the elastic limit, the material undergoes plastic deformation
  • Plastic wrap is an example of plasticity
  • In graph the plastic behavior occurs during unloading after point "a"

d. Non-linear inelastic behavior:

  • Materials have elastic behavior usually only upto a certain point after that deformation are plastic and the relation in this is not linear, that is non linear elastic behavior
  • Non-linear elastic behavior occurs after the line from "o" tends to bend towards point "a"

3. Explain Mass, Stiffness & Damping components in the equation of motion

A)

STIFFNESS COMPONENT:

  • The frame without damping or mass
  • The external force 'fs' on the dtiffness components is related to displacement u by fs=ku
  • if the system is linearly elastic

DAMPING COMPONENT:

  • The frame with its damping property with no stiffness or mass.
  • The external force fi on the mass components is releated to velocity by fd=cv

MASS COMPONENt

  • The roof mass without stiffness or damping of the frame.
  • The external force fi on the mass component is related to the accelartion

fi = m

4. Provide relationship between Natural period (Tn) & Natural frequency (f) and provide their definitions

A)

NATURAL PERIOD OF VIBRATION (Tn)

  • It is the time required for the undamped system to complete one cycle of free vibration
  • Units in seconds
  • It is realated to the natural circular frequency of vibration Wn, in units of radians per second

NATURAL CYCLIC FREQUENCY (fn)

  • The number of cycles (or one complete revolution)executed by system in 1sec
  • units in hertz

5. Explain in detail about Response spectrum & its Graph

A)

RESPONSE SPECTRUM:

  • It is a centra concept in earthquake engineering, responce spectrum is a pratical means of charaterizing ground motions and their effects on structure of different Tn
  • It provides a coveninet means to summarize the peak response of all possible linear SDF system to a particular component of ground motion
  • It also provide as particular approch to apply the knowldege of strucutral dynamics to the design structures and development of lateral force requirement in building codes
  • A plot of the peak value of a response quantity (u,vand a ) as a function of the natural vibration period Tn of the system, is called the response specturm for that quantity
  • Each such plot is for SDF systems having a fixed damping ratio and several such plots for different values are included to cover the range of damping values encountered in actual structures
  • The response spectrum can be of 3 types. The deformation response spectrum is a plot of peak u, against Tn for fixed .A similar plot for peak u, is the relative velocity reponse spectrum, and for peak u , is the relative veloctiy response spectrum, and for peak uT
