Basics of Earthquakes Branch of Structural Dynamics Simplified SDOF ‘equation of motion’ f(t) = ma + kt + cu Or’ f(t) = cu + ků + mϋ F = Shear Force m = Mass k = Stiffness c = damping coefficient a = acceleration T = time period U = displacement
Basics of Earthquakes Natural Frequency, f n, Where, f n = Natural Frequency (Hertz ) or (No. of Cycles/Second) k = Element Stiffness (N/m) m = Element Mass (kg) Single degree of freedom (SDoF) oscillator Radian frequency, ω n = 2 π f n
