Assignment 2

1. The natural frequencies and mode shapes were determined for a 2DOF shear building model. The first natural frequency is 1.91√(k/m) and the second natural frequency is a complex number and is neglected. 2. The first mode shape is [1, -0.84] and the second mode shape is [1, -0.30]. 3. A 3DOF shear building model is then analyzed. The stiffness for each column is computed based on the given properties. The equation of motion is set up in matrix form and solved for the natural frequencies and mode shapes. The normalized mode shapes are solved for and checked for orthogonality of mass and stiffness. Modal participation factors are

1. I. (See Problem 7.3 from Book of Paz and Leigh).

Assume a shear building model for the frame


shown and determine the natural frequencies and normal modes. Use manual and
computeraided solution. Assume for all columns that EI = 10^6 k-in^2

Using Stiffness Matrix

[K] = [ 22 kk −2 k
−5 k ] [M] = [ M0 0
−2 M ]
Part a : Natural Frequency

Recall that :¿ K−mw 2∨¿ Then let w 2 = λ


Therefore use : |K-m λ | = 0

[ 22 kk −2 k

(2 k −m λ)(5 k −2 m λ)−(2 k )(2 k )=0


10 k 2 – 4 km λ – 5 km λ+2(m2)( λ2) – 4(k 2)=0
6 k 2 – 9 km λ+ 2(m2)( λ 2)=0
2(m2 )( λ2 )– 9 km λ+ 6(k 2)=0

Part b. Normal Modes
Recall : |K-mw^2|φ = 0
Use : w 1=1.91 √ k /m

[−1.60
−2 k −2.36 k ] [ φφ 1112] = 0
For 1st mode shapes :

k −2 k
[−1.60
−2 k −2.36 k ] [ φ112] = 0
[ −2 k−2.36 k ] [ φ 12 ] = 0

φ 12=−0.047
[ φ 11 , φ 12 ] =[ 1 ,−0.84 ]

For 2nd mode shapes :

−2 k−(−.8125 k ) −2 k φ 21
[ −2 k −5 k −2∗(−.125 k ) φ 22 ][ ] =0
−2 k −( 5 k +2∗.125 k )( φ 22 )=0

[ φ 21 , φ 22 ] =[ 1 ,−.30 ]
II. A 3DOF shear building model has the following properties. Each column has length L = 4 m and cross-
section of 0.6 m x 0.6 m. E = 25000 MPa. The columns support the mass shown in the figure.
a. Compute the stiffness for each column.
b. Set-up the equation of motion in matrix form
c. Solve for the natural frequencies
d. Solve for the mode shapes
e. Solve for the normalized mode shapes & check the
orthogonality conditions for mass and stiffness
f. Solve for the modal participation factors You may use
Matlab/Excel for the matrix operations and the
eigen-value problem.
