Dynamic Analysis Of Multistory Frames Considering Both Distributed And Lumped Mass, Mark E. Botkin
Dynamic Analysis Of Multistory Frames Considering Both Distributed And Lumped Mass, Mark E. Botkin
Masters Theses
"Two types of dynamic analysis of multistory structures are presented in this thesis . First presented is the dynamic stiffness matrix method in which the masses are distributed along the constituent members. This method is composed of statics, stiffness and loading matrices. The statics matrices are established from the structural configurations, the stiffness coefficients are formulated from the elastic properties of the members, and the loading matrices are functions of the time dependent forces or time dependent foundation movements. The applied forces may be uniform, concentrated, triangular or joint forces. Computer programs are given to carry out the laborious calculations …
