SDLD320 - Transitory response of a free system
of 3 masses and 2 springs under excitation
harmonic




Summary:

One considers the transitory analysis of a discrete system masses/arises linear with three degrees of freedom
completely free. This system has a non-proportional damping. A sinewave excitation is
applied at an end of the system.

In this problem, one tests, through a discrete model, the calculation of the transitory response of a system
whose rigid modes are not fixed. One is interested only in the transient state. For that, one will seek
the solution by an integration on the modal basis supplements (
DYNA_TRAN_MODAL
[U4.53.21]).

The results obtained (displacement, speed and acceleration) are compared with an average of results
coming from industrial codes and a method of integration numerical of type
- Newmark improved.

Summary of the results
·
To obtain a good precision of the results, it is initially necessary to obtain a base
modal precise and perfectly orthogonal (
MODE_ITER_SIMULT
):
by avoiding the multiple modes (different rigidity on the nonexcited ddl),
by calculating the rigid modes of body correctly (to prefer the option
“Center”
in
MODE_ITER_SIMULT
with the other options),
by specifying the method
“JACOBI”
for a modal complete extraction.
·
The precision of the results is good as well for displacements for speeds and
accelerations.
For the elastic response of the system (relative displacements U
3
- U
1
), the numerical precision is one
little worse because of the numerical office plurality of the errors on the absolute values.
