Review Notes

1. Here are the notes for Duhamel, a zipped jpeg series of pages

duhamel handout.zip

Duhamel2005.xls

2. Here are some more scanned handouts on the SDOF Damped system, driven by harmonic motion (2 images).

3. Under the esoteria label, I have a couple more sheets of notes on ground transmission into SDOF systems, helpful if you want to study earthquakes. Also some discussion on separating effects of mass, damping and frequency to study general response.

Computer Programs/Spreadsheets

1. This is the SDOF spreadsheet we discussed in class

     SDOF.XLS

2. Here are the new spreadsheets and earthquakes for your enjoyment.

       spectra.xls    spec.dll

      DFORMD2005.DLL

      DFORRT2005.DLL

The earthquake records below are actually text files and have the .txt extension on them. Be aware of this when you download and use them.              

Grad/ECIV 734/SDOF/ELCENTRO.EQ

Grad/ECIV 734/SDOF/TAFT.EQ

Grad/ECIV 734/SDOF/TOPANGA.EQ

Grad/ECIV 734/SDOF/TREAS.EQ

You must download all three .dll files into the same folder as quaketoxl.xls so that the spreadsheet can find it. The .EQ files are all different earthquake inputs for the spreadsheet. Download as many .EQ files as you like onto your machine. You will read them in when you invoke the macro in the spreadsheet. The macro to invoke is "winshake"

3. Here is the DFT spreadsheet. This will perform a Discrete Fourier Transform, then invert the transform back to time domain. You may also filter out the higher frequencies. The inverse transform will be applied to the remaining values.
