Structural dynamics

1.

STATIC ANALYSIS

  • Static analysis can only be performed if the system being simulated does not depend on time,and if the loads being applied are constant.
  • Static analysis don't consider inertia.
  • Static refers 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 analysis,but the elastic force should be accounted

DYNAMIC ANALYSIS

  • In dynamic analysis ,the system itself,the load application or both might change 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 equilibrium equation it can be disregarded in static analysis
  • Elasticity , ability of a deformed material body to return to its original shape and size when the forces causing the deformations are removed
  • A body with this ability is said to behave elastically
  • The theory of elasticity is used to design safe and stable man-made structures such as skyscrappers and overbridges to make life convenient

2.Inelastic behavior

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

3.Plastic behavior

  • For stresses 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"

2.Non-linear Inelastic behavior

  • Materials have elastic behvior 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.

Stiffness component

  • The frame without damping or mass.
  • The external force 'fs' on the stiffness component 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 on the damping component is related 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 accelaration

fi=mu

mu+fd+fs=p(t)----mu+cu+ku=p(t)

4. 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 1 sec
  • units in hertz

fn=1/tn

5.

  • It is a central concept in earthquake engineering, response spectrum is a practical means of characterizing ground motions and their effects on structures of different Tn
  • It provides a convenient means to summarize the peak response of all possible linear SDF systems to a particular component of ground motion
  • It also provides a particular approach to apply the knowledge of structural dynamics to the design structures and development of lateral force requirements in building codes
  • 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
  • Each such plot is for SDF systems having a fixed damping ratio ζ and several such plots for different values ζ are included to cover the range of damping values encountered in actual structures
