Pseudo Excitation Method Based on Multiple Degree of Freedom Modal Equation

Abstract:

In recent years, on the one hand destructive earthquakes frequently occur, and vibration control devices such as dampers and isolation become increasingly application in actual large-scale structures, on the other hand modern structures with complex styles and diversified materials possess significant non-proportional damping characteristics, and traditional methods based on Rayleigh damping assumption no longer meet seismic calculation requirement. According to this situation, firstly multiple degree of freedom modal equation and pseudo excitation method are both utilized to establish a new efficient calculation method system which is suitable for stochastic analysis of non-proportionally damped structure, and the new method can achieve adjustive calculation efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, advantages and features of established method are analyzed, and guidance suggestions for appropriate method use are also proposed. Finally, numerical study is carried out to verify conclusions proposed by theoretical derivation, and efficiency and accuracy of established method system used in stochastic response calculation of non-proportionally damped structure is confirmed.
