2.) Consider the system of two degrees-of-freedom given below with m1=3t,m2=4t,k=240kNm and n=5%;
a. Write down the equations of motion of the system by including the ground motion ug(t) and evaluate the mass matrix m , the rigidity matrix k,
b. Determine the two circular frequencies and the periods of the free vibration 1 and Ti.
c. Obtain the corresponding mode shapes , and give their graphical representations,
d. Check the orthogonality of the modes with respect to the mass matrix and the stiffness matrix 1Tm2 and 1Tk2,
e. Evaluate the generalized masses and stiffnesses Mi=iTmi and Ki=iTki and assess wi2=KiMi,
f. Using the elastic design spectrum given to you in the first question (SDS=1.041SD1=0.3435), calculate the maximum displacement at the top story of the frame and the maximum base shear force of the system. (Apply the SRSS rule).
