STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS ASSIGNMENT-1

Q. Calculate the frequency of any element.

Sol. In this, we choose the steel of grade Fe 415 (HYSD) element of size 600mm and
model the element in SAP2000, finite element software to calculate the Time period
and frequency of the element.
For the justification, the tensile strength test using the Universal Testing Machine
(UTM) is conducted and calculates the stress and strain to calculate the youngs
modulus of steel and from the youngs modulus, the frequency of the element is
calculated.
SAP2000 ANALYSIS:
1. CREATION OF MODEL:
Define the material property as steel HYSD Steel
 Define the section property 10mm Dia.

Model the element using special joints and frame elements

Assign the property to the element.

Create the mass source for calculating mass Here self weight is taken as
mass.
2. RESTRAINTS:
At one end, the element is fixed and the other end, the translation about the Z
direction is free and the remaining (Translation about X and Y, Rotation about X,Y,Z
is restrained as specimen is tested in utm ).

3. ANALYSIS
1. In the set analysis option, the analysis is selected as plane frame analysis
(XZ Plane).
2. Run the analysis for Modal case
3. The Time Period, Frequency and cyclic frequency is calculated.
Time Period t= 0.000747 sec
Frequency f= 1338.98 cyc/sec
Circular frequency = 8413.08 Rad/sec

Stress Vs Strain

Modulus of elasticity = 2*105 N/mm2

Length of Element = 600 mm

Cross section area A = (3.1415*0.25*0.01*0.01) = 78.5375 mm2

Stiffness (K) = AE/L
5
= 78.5375*2*10 /600
= 26180000 N/m.

Mass =0.366 kg
Natural frequency () = Sqrt(K/mass)
= 8457.54 Rad/sec.
Frequency (f) = 2*/
= 1346.05
Time Period (t) = 1/f
= 0.000742 sec

CONCLUSION:
As the result obtained from lab experiment and SAP2000 are comparable.
Natural frequency () = 8413.08 Rad/sec
Time Period (t) = 0.000747 sec Frequency (f)
= 1338.98 cyc/sec
