BUILDING MODEL FOR AN EARTHQUAKE. # Refer to the textbook of Edwards-Penney, section 7.4, page 437. # Consider a building with 7 floors. # # Let the mass in slugs of each story be m=1000.0 and let the spring # constant be k=10000.0 (lbs/foot). # Define the 7 by 7 mass matrix M and Hooke's matrix K for this system # and convert Mx''=Kx into # the system x''=Ax where A is defined by textbook equation (1) , page # 437. # # PROBLEM 3.1 # Find the eigenvalues of the matrix A to six digits, using the Maple # command "eigenvals(A)." # Justify in particular that all seven eigenvalues are negative by # direct computation. # # # Sample Maple code for a model with 4 floors. # # Use maple help to learn about evalf and eigenvals. # A:=matrix([ [-20,10,0,0], [10,-20,10,0], [0,10,-20,10], # [0,0,10,-10]]); # evalf(eigenvals(A)); # > # Problem 3.1 > # # 3.2. TABLE OF NATURAL FREQUENCIES AND PERIODS. # Refer to figure 7.4.17, page 437. # # PROBLEM 3.2. # Find the natural angular frequencies omega=sqrt(-lambda) for the # seven story building and also the corresponding periods # 2PI/omega, accurate to six digits.

UNDETERMINED COEFFICIENTS STEADY-STATE PERIODIC SOLUTION. # Consider the forced equation x'=Ax+cos(wt)b where b is a constant # vector. The earthquake's # ground vibration is accounted for by the extra term cos(wt)b, which # has period T=2Pi/w. # The solution x(t) is the 7-vector of excursions from equilibrium # of the corresponding 7 floors. # Sought here is not the general solution which contains the general # solution to # to homogeneous problem, but rather the particular periodic solution # with angular freqency w, # which is known from the theory to have the form x(t)=cos(wt)c for some # vector c that # depends only on A and b. The idea is that in any real problem # there would be a small amount # of damping, which would lead to transient homogeneous solution, and # steady periodic solution close to # the one you are finding for this undamped problem. # # PROBLEM 3.3. # Define b:=(1/4)*w*w*vector([1,1,1,1,1,1,1]): in Maple and find the # vector c in the undetermined # coefficients solution x(t)=cos(wt)c. Vector c depends on w. As # outlined in the textbook, vector c # can be found by solving the linear algebra problem -w^2 c = Ac + b; # see page 433. Don't print c, # as it is too complex; instead, print c[1] as an illustration. # # # Sample code for defining b and A, then solving for c in the # 4-floor case. # # See maple help to learn about evalm, diag, vector. # w:='w': # b:=0.25*w*w*vector([1,1,1,1]): # A:=matrix([ [-20,10,0,0], [10,-20,10,0], [0,10,-20,10], # [0,0,10,-10]]); # c:=linsolve(evalm(A+w*w*diag(1,1,1,1)),-b): # evalf(c[1],6); # > # PROBLEM 3.3 > # # 3.4 PRACTICAL RESONANCE. # Consider the forced equation x'=Ax+cos(wt)b of 3.3 above with # b:=0.25*w*w*vector([1,1,1,1,1,1,1]). # Practical resonance occurs when any component of x(t) has large # amplitude compared to the vector # norm of the forcing amplitudes in b. For example, an earthquake might # cause a small 3-inch excursion # on level ground, but the building's floors might have 50-inch # excursions, enough to destroy the building. # # PROBLEM 3.4. # Let Max(c) denote the maximum modulus of the components of vector c. # Plot g(T)=Max(c(w)) with w=(2*Pi)/T for periods T=0 to T=6, ordinates # Max=0 to Max=10, the vector c(w) being the answer # produced in 3.3 above. Compare your figure to the textbook Figure # 7.4.18, page 438. # # # Sample maple code to define the function Max(c), 4-floor building. # # Use maple help to learn about norm, diag, vector, subs, evalm and # linsolve. # with(linalg): # w:='w': Max:= c -> norm(c,infinity); # B:=w*w*diag(1,1,1,1): b:=0.25*w*w*vector([1,1,1,1]): # C:=ww -> subs(w=ww,linsolve(evalm(A+B),-b)): # plot(Max(C(2*Pi/r)),r=0..6,0..10); # > restart:with(plots):with(linalg): > # PROBLEM 3.4. WARNING: Save your file often!!! > # # # 3.5. EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE. # The maximum amplitude plot of 3.4 can be used to detect the likelihood # of earthquake damage for a given # ground vibration of period T. A ground vibration (1/4)cos(wt), # T=2*Pi/w, will be assumed, as in 3.4. # # PROBLEM 3.5. # Replot the amplitudes in 3.4 for periods 0 to 6 and amplitudes 5 to # 10. There will be three # spikes. Zoom-in on each spike, choosing a T-interval that shows the # full spike. Determine # from the three zoom-in plots approximate intervals for the period T # such that some floor in # the building will undergo excursions from equilibrium in excess of 5 # feet. # # Example: Zoom-in on a spike for amplitudes 5 feet to 10 feet, # periods 1.4 to 1.5. # plot(Max(C(2*Pi/r)),r=1.4..1.5,5..10); # > # PROBLEM 3.5.

FIVE FLOORS. # Consider a building with five floors each weighing 20 tons. Assume # each floor corresponds to a restoring # Hooke's force with constant k=4 tons/foot. Assume that ground # vibrations from the earthquake are modeled by # (1/4)cos(wt) with period T=2*Pi/w (same as the 7-floor model above). # # PROBLEM 3.6. # Model the 5-floor problem in Maple. Plot the maximum amplitudes # against the period 0 to 6 and amplitude # 4 to 10. Determine from the graphic the period ranges which cause the # amplitude plot to spike above 4 feet. # > restart:with(plots):with(linalg): > # PROBLEM 3.6.
