Have considered the vibrational behavior of a discrete system. How does one use this for a continuous structure? First need the concept of..... Influence Coefficients
Previously saw (in Unit 19)that a multi degree-of-freedom system has the same basic form of the governing equation as a single degree-of-freedom system The difference is that it is a matrix equation
Thus far have considered separately beam - takes bending loads column -takes axial loads Now combine the two and look at the beam-column (Note: same geometrical restrictions as on others
