Fundamentals of Structural Dynamics

Day 1
Fri. April 19
2013

1 Course description
Aim of the course is that students develop a “feeling for dynamic problems” and acquire the theoretical
background and the tools to understand and to solve important problems relevant to the linear and, in
part, to the nonlinear dynamic behaviour of structures, especially under seismic excitation.
The course will start with the analysis of single-degree-of-freedom (SDoF) systems by discussing: (i)
Modelling, (ii) equations of motion, (iii) free vibrations with and without damping, (iv) harmonic, periodic and short excitations, (v) Fourier series, (vi) impacts, (vii) linear and nonlinear time history analysis, and (viii) elastic and inelastic response spectra.
Afterwards, multi-degree-of-freedom (MDoF) systems will be considered and the following topics will
be discussed: (i) Equation of motion, (ii) free vibrations, (iii) modal analysis, (iv) damping, (v) Rayleigh’s
quotient, and (vi) seismic behaviour through response spectrum method and time history analysis.
To supplement the suggested reading, handouts with class notes and calculation spreadsheets with selected analysis cases to self-training purposes will be distributed.

1.3 Topics of the course
1) Systems with one degree of freedom

1.1 Goals of the course
• Presentation of the theoretical basis and of the relevant tools;
• General understanding of phenomena related to structural dynamics;

- Modelling and equation of motion
- Free vibrations with and without damping
- Harmonic excitation
2) Forced oscillations

• Focus on earthquake engineering;
• Development of a “Dynamic Feeling”;

- Periodic excitation, Fourier series, short excitation

• Detection of frequent dynamic problems and application of appropriate solutions.

- Linear and nonlinear time history-analysis

- Elastic and inelastic response spectra
3) Systems with many degree of freedom

1.2 Limitations of the course
• Only an introduction to the broadly developed field of structural
dynamics (due to time constraints);

- Modelling and equation of motion
- Modal analysis, consideration of damping

• Only deterministic excitation;

- Forced oscillations,

• No soil-dynamics and no dynamic soil-structure interaction will
be treated (this is the topic of another course);

- Seismic response through response spectrum method and
time-history analysis

• Numerical methods of structural dynamics are treated only
partially (No FE analysis. This is also the topic of another
course);

4) Continuous systems

• Recommendation of further readings to solve more advanced
problems.

5) Measures against vibrations

2) D’Alembert principle
(2.4)

F+T = 0

2.1 Formulation of the equation of motion

The principle is based on the idea of a fictitious inertia force
that is equal to the product of the mass times its acceleration,
and acts in the opposite direction as the acceleration
The mass is at all times in equilibrium under the resultant
force F and the inertia force T = – mu··.

2.1.1 Direct formulation
1) Newton's second law (Action principle)
F =

dI
= d ( mu· ) = mu··
dt
dt

( I = Impulse)

(2.1)

The force corresponds to the change of impulse over time.

y = x ( t ) + l + us + u ( t )


(2.5)

y·· = x·· + u··

(2.6)

T = – my·· = – m ( x·· + u··)

(2.7)

F = – k ( u s + u ) – cu· + mg (2.8)
= – ku s – ku – cu· + mg
= – ku – cu·
F+T = 0

(2.9)

– cu· – ku – mx·· – mu·· = 0 (2.10)
– f k ( t ) – f c ( t ) + F ( t ) = mu··( t )

mu·· + cu· + ku = – mx··

Introducing the spring force f k ( t ) = ku ( t ) and the damping
force f c ( t ) = cu· ( t ) Equation (2.2) becomes:
mu··( t ) + cu· ( t ) + ku ( t ) = F ( t )

• To derive the equation of motion, the dynamic equilibrium for
each force component is formulated. To this purpose, forces,
and possibly also moments shall be decomposed into their
components according to the coordinate directions.

• Virtual displacement = imaginary infinitesimal displacement

• Should best be kinematically permissible, so that unknown reaction forces do not produce work

2.1.3 Energy Formulation

a

• Kinetic energy T (Work, that an external force needs to provide to move a mass)

ϕ1

l

Course “Fundamentals of Structural Dynamics”

sin(ϕ1) ~ ϕ1
cos(ϕ1) ~ 1

• Deformation energy U (is determined from the work that an external force has to provide in order to generate a deformation)

O

• Potential energy of the external forces V (is determined with
respect to the potential energy at the position of equilibrium)

Spring force:

F k = a ⋅ sin ( ϕ 1 ) ⋅ k ≈ a ⋅ ϕ 1 ⋅ k

(2.17)

• Conservation of energy theorem (Conservative systems)


Inertia force:

··
Fm = ϕ1 ⋅ l ⋅ m

(2.18)

External force:

Fp = m ⋅ g

-> Rayleigh-Quotient
• Choosing the deformation figure
- The accuracy of the modelling depends on the assumed
deformation figure;
- The best results are obtained when the deformation figure
fulfills all boundary conditions;
- The boundary conditions are automatically satisfied if the
deformation figure corresponds to the deformed shape due
to an external force;
- A possible external force is the weight of the structure acting in the considered direction.
• Properties of the Rayleigh-Quotient
- The estimated natural frequency is always larger than the
exact one (Minimization of the quotient!);
- Useful results can be obtained even if the assumed deformation figure is not very realistic.

Equation (3.50) can be rewritten as “the amplitude and phase
angle”:


it is obtained:

λ = – ζω n ± ω n ζ – ω n = – ζω n ± ω n ζ – 1
λ = – ζω n ± iω n 1 – ζ

u ( t ) = Ae
(3.44)

A =
ω d = ω n 1 – ζ “damped circular frequency”

(3.46)

λ = – ζω n ± iω d

(3.47)

The complete solution of the ODE is:
u ( t ) = C1 e
u(t) = e
u(t) = e
