INTRODUCTION
BDA 40303

There is a common mistake for users who do not have sufficient knowledge in vibrations. Users will think the displacement results and other results generated in every mode shape are absolute values. They will interpret and read the result as seen in the contour.

Dr. Izzuddin Zaman

The displacements, stresses, strains calculations of every mode are based on relative or normalized values. The mode shapes represent relative amplitudes of vibration rather than absolute displacements. Since there are no uniquely defined forces in eigen value analysis, the displacements are arbitrary but proportional to each other to properly define the mode shape.
Solid elements should replace the shell elements. The unit natural frequency in LISA is rad/s if you want to use Hz then you should divide it by 2.

A building structure as seen in module 3 exercise 4 will be analyzed its natural frequencies. In this exercise every member is divided into two elements.

Dr. Izzuddin Zaman

The roof is represented by several concentrated mass as illustrated below. The concentrated mass is 100 kg each. Find the first four natural frequencies. All supported foundations are rigidly fixed (all translations and rotations are fixed).
The mass density of the materials are all 8000 kg/m3.
