    This document summarizes the verification of steady state harmonic analysis and periodic time history analysis in SAP2000. A fixed-end beam subjected to a uniformly distributed harmonic load is modeled and analyzed using undamped steady state analysis and periodic time history analysis. The maximum midpoint deflections from SAP2000 are compared to independent results from a published source, and agree to within 0.55%. This example tests features such as steady state and time history analysis of frames, line mass assignment, and automatic frame subdivision in SAP2000.

    EXAMPLE 1-015
    FRAME - STEADY STATE HARMONIC LOADS

    EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
    Steady state and periodic time history analysis are verified in this example using
    a fixed-end beam that is subjected to a uniformly distributed load varying
    harmonically with respect to time. The maximum midpoint deflections from the
    SAP2000 analyses are compared with independent results published in Paz 1985.

    The example is solved using two different calculation methods. They are
    undamped steady state analysis; and periodic time history analysis. For the
    steady state analysis, the frequency of the forcing function is used as input into
    SAP2000. For the time-history analysis, one complete cycle of the sine wave
    loading function, discretized at 100 equal intervals, is used as input, and, for
    consistency with Paz 1985, five modes are used in the time history analysis.

    The fixed end beam is modeled with two objects so that there is a midpoint node
    where displacements are reported. Each of the objects is internally meshed in
    SAP2000 into 120 elements each one inch long. Because the line mass in the
    SAP2000 analysis is lumped at the nodes, this discretization of the beam
    provides a good approximation of the uniform mass assumed in the example.

    Important Note: Only bending deformations are considered in this analysis.


    Shear deformations are ignored by setting the frame property modification factor
    for shear area to zero. Axial and torsional modes are excluded by excluding the
    Ux and Rx degrees of freedom from the analysis.

    CONCLUSIONS
    Comparison of the SAP2000 results with the independent results is acceptable.
    The small difference between the SAP2000 results and the independent results
    appears to be caused by round off in the independent solution.
