Handout 1: Bode plot rules reminder Eric Feron Feb4,2004 General: Bode plot is to plot magnitudes using logarithm scale, phases using log scales. Indeed:
Thus far, we have concentrated on the bending of shell beams. However, in the general case a beam is subjected to axial load. F · bending moments,M · shear forces,S torque(torsional moments)
Thus far have considered only static response. However, things also move, this includes structures Can actually identify three \categories\ of response A.(Quasi)-Static [quasi because the load must first be applied
Now consider the case of compressive loads and the instability they can cause. Consider only static instabilities (static loading as opposed to dynamic loading [ e.g., flutter) From Unified, defined instability via a system becomes unstable when a negative stiffness overcomes
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
For a number of cross-sections we cannot find stress functions. However, we can resort to an analogy introduced by Prandtl(1903) Consider a membrane under pressure p, Membrane\. structure whose thickness is small compared to surface
We have looked at basic in-plane loading. Lets now consider a second\building block of types of loading: basic torsion There are 3 basic types of behavior depending on the type of cross-section
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
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
