F-07 (3D Frame Vibration)

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Objective

To verify the behavior of the beam element in large 3D frame vibration

 

Problem Description

A 3D single story frame structure with a length = 27.25 in, width = 17.25 in and height = 18.625 in, is fixed at the bottom.  Nodes are inserted at 8.625 in from the top corner nodes along the length, width and height.

Material: E = 2.79e+007 lb/in2, v = 0.3

Sections: A = 1.07453 in2, Ay = Az = 0.537266 in2, Iz = Iy = 0.665747 in4, J = 1.33149 in4

Masses: Corner nodes = 0.0253816 lb-sec2/in (X, Y and Z directions)

All other nodes except supports: 0.00894223 lb-sec2/in (X, Y and Z directions)
