Understanding the concepts on Degrees of Freedom

1.AIM:

A five storey structure with 5 translational DOF is shown here. Each storey has mass ‘m’. The eigenvalue problem has been solved and the 5 periods of vibration Tn and their corresponding mode shapes, φn has been derived.

Step:1

For mode 1:

`pai`=[0.334

0.641

0.895

1.078

1.173]

we kow that,

M1=(0.334 0.641 0.895 1.078 1.173)x

[0.334

0.641

0.895

1.078

1.173]

=(154459/40000)m

=3.861m

Similarly,

For

Mode 2,M2=3.885

Mode 3,M3=3.8613

Mode 4,M4=3.8611

Mode 5,M5=3.8612

Now,

We need to calculate Ln

Ln=`pai`n^TmL

therefore,

L1=(0.334 0.641 0.895 1.078 1.173)xm(1

1

1

1)

=4121/1000

L1=4.121

Similarly,

L2=-1.29

L3=0.68

L4=0.381

L5=0.175

We need to calculated the Mn

M*n=(Ln^2/Mn)

M1=4.121^2/3.8614

M*1=4.398m

For M*2=0.432m

M*3=0.119m

M*4=0.0357m

M*5=0.0079m

Now,we need to calculate rn=Ln/Mn

we know that,

r1=L1/m1

=4.121/3.8614

r1=1.067

Similarly,

r2=-0.336

r3=0.1761

r4=0.0986

r5=0.045

Now we need to claculated shear base,Vbn

therfore,

Vbn=Ln^2/mn An=Mn*An

we know that,

pseudo acceleration,An Value from graph

For Mode1,Force Vector

f1=(m1)(`pai`)(r1)(a1)

f1=M=(0.334

0.641

0.895

1.075

1.173)x1.067x0.27

Vb1=1.121

Similarly,

Vb2=0.31

Vb3=0.121

Vb4=0.035

Vb5=0.001
