Tutorial 5

This document discusses structural dynamics problems involving beams, slabs, pipes, and buildings. It contains: 1) A simply supported beam modeled as a lumped mass system with equations of motion formulated. 2) A uniform slab supported by columns with mass and stiffness matrices formulated using influence coefficients. 3) A 3D pipe with mass at the end and equations of motion formulated for different excitation directions. 4) A 3-story building with natural frequencies and modes determined and normalized in terms of mass and stiffness.

CE 616 (Structural Dynamics) Tutorial 05 30 October 2019

1. A uniform simply supported beam of length L, flexural rigidity El, and mass m per unit length
has been idealized as the lumped-mass system shown in Fig. 1. The applied forces are also shown.
a. Identify the DOFs for representing the elastic properties and determine the stiffness matrix.
Neglect the axial deformations of the beam.
b. Identify the DOFs for representing the inertial properties and determine the mass matrix.
c. Formulate the equations governing the translational motion of the beam.

2. Fig. 2 shows a uniform slab supported on four columns rigidly attached to the slab and clamped
at the base. The slab has a total mass m to and is rigid in plane and out of plane. Each column is
of circular cross section, and its second moment of cross-sectional area about any diametrical
axis is as noted. With the DOFs selected as ux, uy, and u at the center of the slab, and using
influence coefficients:
a. Formulate the mass and stiffness matrices in terms of m and the lateral stiffness k = 12EI/h3
of the smaller column; h is the height.
b. Formulate the equations of motion for ground motion in
i. the x-direction
ii. the y-direction, and
iii. the direction d-b

Fig. 1 Fig. 2
3. Fig. 3 shows a three-dimensional pipe abcd clamped at a with mass m at d. All members are
made of the same material and have identical cross sections. Formulate the equations of motion
governing the DOFs ux, uy, and uz when the excitation is ground motion in
a. the x-direction,
b. the y-direction,
c. the z-direction, and
d. the direction a-d
First express the flexibility matrix in terms of E, I, G, J, and L; then specialize it for GJ = 4EI/5.
Consider flexural and torsional deformations but neglect axial deformations.

4. For the three storey building shown in Fig. 4


a. Determine the natural vibration frequencies and modes; express the frequencies in terms of
m, EI, and h. Sketch the modes and identify the associated natural frequencies.
b. Verify that the modes satisfy the orthogonality properties.
c. Normalize each mode so that the modal mass Mn has unit value. Sketch these normalized
modes. Compare these modes with those obtained in part (a) and comment on the differences.
