Structural Dynamics: SDOF & MDOF Analysis

The document outlines an assignment on structural dynamics, focusing on various concepts related to single-degree-of-freedom systems, including undamped and damped responses, and methods for determining natural frequencies. It includes specific problems such as calculating the maximum response of a one-storey building frame under a rectangular pulse force and deriving equations of motion for different force types. Additionally, it discusses the formulation of equations for complex systems involving rigid bars, springs, and dampers.

STRCUTRAL DYNAMICS

Assignment 1
[Link]. Question BL
1 Define and explain undamped single-degree-of-freedom systems. Derive the 2
equation of motion for such systems under free vibrations.
2 Derive the response of a damped single-degree-of-freedom system to a 2
pulsating force.
3 Explain the Stodola-Vianello method for determining the natural frequencies 2
of multi-degree-of-freedom systems.
4 Discuss the Modified Rayleigh-Ritz method for determining the natural 2
frequencies and mode shapes of lumped mass systems.
5 A one-storey building, idealized as a 12-ft high frame with two columns 3
hinged at the based and a rigid beam, has a natural period of 0.5sec Each
column is an American Standard wide-flanged steel section W8x18. Its
properties for bending about its major axis are 𝐼𝑥 = 61.9 𝑖𝑛4 , 𝑆 = 𝑙𝑥 ⁄𝑐 =
15.2𝑖𝑛3 , 𝐸 = 30,000𝑘𝑠𝑖. Neglecting damping, determine the maximum
response of this frame due to a rectangular pulse force of amplitude 4 kips
and duration 𝑡𝑑 = 0.2 𝑠𝑒𝑐. The response quantities of interest are
displacement at the top of the frame and maximum bending stress in the
columns.
6 Drive the equation of motion for single degree of freedom system subjected 2
to half-cycle sine pulse force.
7 Drive the equation of motion for single degree of freedom system subjected 2
to rectangular pulse force.
8 The system shown in the figure below consists of a rigid bar supported by a 3
fulcrum at O, with an attached spring and damper subjected to force p(t). The
mass m1 of the part OB of the bar is distributed uniformly circular plate of
mass m2 is attached at the midpoint of BC. Selecting the counterclockwise
rotation about the fulcrum as the generalised displacement and considering
small displacements, formulate the equation of motion for this generalised
SDF system, determine the natural vibration frequency and damping ratio,
and evaluate the dynamic response of the system without damping subjected
to a suddenly applied force p0. How would the equation of motion change
with an axial force on the horizontal bar; what is the buckling load?
