3 INPUT DATA
 A 2D frame with 2 spans of 4 m and the height of 5 m
 The elements have constant cross-section of 0.4x0.4 m
 The material has the following characteristics:
Modulus of Elasticity: E = 2100000 kN/m²

5 Description of Work done
 This 2D Frame (MDOF) problem was solved using analysis from
SAP2000 and ETABS. A MATLAB program was also used to
analysis the frame.

12 Free Damped Vibrations Response of SDOF
Model with Initial Conditions
  Observe that the amplitude reduces exponentially with respect to time;
 Amplitude = 
 The natural logarithm (logarithm to the base e) of the ratio of amplitudes of two successive
cycles is constant which is known as logarithmic decrement;
13 Harmonic Underdamped Vibrations
Response of SDOFM
 Force input function of the harmonic excitation is the harmonic function, i.e. functions of
sines and cosines.
 This type of excitation is common to many system involving rotating and reciprocating
motion. Moreover, many other forces can be represented as an infinite series of harmonic
functions.
 By the principle of superposition, the response is the sum of the individual harmonic
response.

Response of SDOFM
15 Harmonic Overdamped Vibrations
Response of SDOFM
 Undamped system oscillates at a constant amplitude as predicted by the theory but the
response is not harmonic because of the superposition of initial condition response (0
phase lag)

 Damped system behavior is similar to the undamped system except that the initial
condition response decays in time so that the system finally oscillates at the steady-state
response as predicted by theory (approximately 0 phase lag)

 The free vibration response in terms of displacements and velocities for the DDOFs 1 and
2 have been shown in the above graphs and results. This shows the stick model with
Rayleigh type proportional damping.
 Also the results from the different software applications showed different results for the
period of vibrations, the frequencies and the displacements.
