This paper describes evaluation of torsional response by equivalent linearization method considering higher mode response. In the authors' study, the equivalent linearization method (after named NoLMM) considering higher mode response for multi-st...
This paper describes the equivalent linearization method considering strength reduction of brittle elements. The following facts are found by numerical investigation employed time-domain response analyses. The maximum response of the weak story wh...
This paper describes the equivalent linearization method considering higher mode effect. In non-linear response, one modal response affects the characteristics of other modes. In order to incorporate mode interaction, a multi-modal analysis method...
The answers are summarized as follows: 1. In estimating maximum deformation, the total energy input is one of the approximate methods based on energy balance. 2. The authors did not use the concept of instantaneous energy input. In estimating maxi...
The closed form equations for equivalent linearization method are presented. In velocity response spectrum constant region, the response ductility is the function of yielding strength, yielding deformation angle and height of structure. But in acc...
