Why Structural Dynamics
To understand the behavior of structure under dynamic
loading
To calculate the Dynamic response of structure under
dynamic loading
To design structure to resist dynamic loading
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
What is Dynamic Load
Force on the structure which varies with time
Note: Intensity of load, Direction of load, application point
Types of dynamic loads
– Impact
– Blast
– Mechanical Vibrations
– Wind
– Earthquake
Nature of Dynamic loads
– Harmonic
– Periodic
– Step (ramp)
– Impulse
– Random
– etc
BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus
What are Dynamic Responses
The time-varying response of a given structure subjected
to dynamic loading
What are the responses measured?
– Displacement
– Velocity
– Acceleration

What happens in Plastic Zone
Stiffness changes , so natural
frequency changes in plastic zone

D’Alemberts Principle
The mass particle is said to be in dynamic equilibrium, when
the sum of applied force and inertial vector force are equal to
zero.
F - ma = 0.
F = ma

VIBRATION
Free : Motion of body due to initial disturbance. NO external force during
vibration
Forced: motion of body subjected to time dependent external force during
the motion
Undamped: Energy in the system not dissipated
Damped: Energy gets dissipated into non-reversible form
