CVG4142 – Structural dynamics

ASSIGNMENT# 2

DUE DATE: 18 MARCH 2019–Submission: assignment box at mezzanine of CBY.

1) Using the Newmark method determine and plot in Excel the displacement, velocity
and acceleration responses for a single degree of freedom system with the properties
given below for the forcing force represented. Submit the spreadsheet of the xls file
you developed (see LEC6 & 7).
Mass m = 50 kg, stiffness k = 800 N/m, damping  = 0.2, time step t = 0.1,  =
1/2 ,  = 1/6 .

2) Using the Normal Mode Method determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the
system shown in the figure bellow if m1 = 5 kg, m2 = 2.5 kg and k1 = 100 N/m, k2
= 250 N/m.

3) The two-storey building shown in figure below has very stiff floor slabs relative to the
supporting columns (k1=k2=4 ×10 N/m). Using the Normal Mode Method calculate the
natural frequencies and the mode shapes. Represent graphically the two mode shapes.
