Structural Analysis II: Damping & Frequency

The document outlines a tutorial for TCW 3207 Structural Analysis II, focusing on a single-bay frame subjected to a load and its subsequent deflection and motion characteristics. It includes calculations for damping ratio, coefficient of damping, undamped frequency, period, and amplitude after multiple cycles. Additionally, it involves analyzing the response time-history of an SDOF system to estimate damped natural frequency and damping ratio.

TCW 3207 STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS II

GROUP 4 TUTORIAL

1. A 3m high, 8m wide single-bay single storey frame is rigidly jointed with a


beam of mass 5000kg and columns of negligible mass and stiffness of
3 2
EI =4.5 x 10 kN m . A jack applied a load of 100kN and then instantaneously
released. On the first return swing a deflection of 19.44mm was noted. The
period of motion was measured at 0.223s. Assuming that the stiffness of the
columns cannot change, find:

(a) the damping ratio

(b) the coefficient of damping

(c) the undamped frequency and period

(d) the amplitude after 5 cycles

2. From the response time-history of an SDOF system given (over the page):

(a) estimate the damped natural frequency

(b) use the half amplitude method to calculate the damping ratio

(c) calculate the undamped natural frequency and period
