Abstract: For dynamic analysis of majority of structures, a dynamic model is developed by discretizing the distributed mass and elastic properties. For assessing the adequacy of mass discretization, several ...

Abstract: A general procedure is presented for a more accurate, rapid and economical computation of response from higher frequency modes, when the modal superposition time history or response spectra ...

Abstract: In the design of structural systems such as nuclear reactor coolant loops consisting of piping, supports, bumpers, and tie rods, the basic structure is linear. For transient analysis of piping ...
