Hi,
I ´m taking displacements from the Harmonic analysis, and I ´m multiplying it by the Turbine´s frequency, not the structure natural frequency.
Rafael
The output I have is only nodal displacements.Is the maximum velocity the displacement multiplied by the angular frequency(rad/s) or by the frequency(Hz)itself?
Also,can someone explain it physically??Why not the displacement divided by T(period)/4?
Thanks
Rafael
I've already done the moving load analysis for various moving load cases, and statically the structure is solved.
I want now to analyse the dynamic bridge response to a moving load entering the span and crossing it at some speed.
What's the best method to do that and if what i've done is correct?
Qshake,
I'm interested on knowing if the passing of the vehicle causes a significant increase on the cable stays tension forces,or in the opposite side ,if it can totally unload the cable.The static analysis results showed me that cables are ok.
What I've done so far is :
I created several load...
Can anyone point me some instructions or links on how to perform a time history analysis for a vehicle crossing the bridge span.I need to Know which time functions are recommended for this case as well as the whole procedure.
It's a very special bridge.There's a 240m arch crossing over the...
