Chopra, A., Dynamics of Structures: Theory and Applications to Earthquake Engineering, Prentice Hall.
An SDOF system has the following properties: m=45,594kg,k=18kNcm,Tn=1s(wn=6.283 of the system to p(t) defined by the half- rad/s) and =0.05. Determine the response u(t) cycle sine pulse force shown in figure by;
a. Using piecewise linear interpolation of p(t) with t=0.1s and
b. Evaluating the theoretical solution
Solve Problem_1 by 'Central Difference Method' using t=0.1s.
Solve Problem_1 by 'Newmark's Method' applying both the constant average acceleration and linear acceleration procedures using t=0.1s.
Compare the solutions on a diagram with the theoretical solution and give brief information about the methods.
