Abstract: The closed‐form solution is derived to the problem of stiffness design of coaxially coeccentric asymmetric shear buildings (CCS buildings) for specified fundamental natural frequency and eigenvector. The complete quadratic ...

Abstract: A new overall structural flexibility, referred to as “system flexibility,” is defined in this paper for building frames composed of material with an arbitrary, stable, nonlinear, elastic stress‐strain relation which are ...

Abstract: A new method via inverse problem formulation including frame stability (

Abstract: A new inverse design method for frames has been presented by means of an inverse formulation including frame stability effects. Elastic building frames in non-earthquake-prone areas, designed primarily for light horizontal ...

Abstract: An analytical procedure is developed for deriving the solution to a new hybrid inverse eigenmode problem such that multiple subassemblages to be designed (design subassemblages) are supported on a foundation with given ...

Abstract: A new dynamic system response quantity, referred to as forced‐mode compliance, is introduced for the forced steady‐state vibration of a shear building model subjected to a harmonic ground motion. An optimum design problem ...

Abstract: A class of hybrid inverse eigenmode problems is formulated such that a set of stiffnesses of a structure supported by a prescribed shear-type foundation system at an interface is determined for a specified lowest eigenvalue ...

Abstract: The problem in this paper is to find the set of story stiffnesses of an elastic shear building with added viscous dampers such that each mean maximum interstory drift due to spectrum-compatible design earthquakes would ...

Abstract: A hybrid inverse mode problem is formulated for a fixed-fixed mass-spring model. A problem of eigenvalue analysis and its inverse problem are combined in this hybrid inverse mode formulation. ...
