Problem 13.18
Solution:
given in Problem 13.17. The influence vector is (from
Problem 9.13):
1
1
The modal quantities, given by Eq. (13.1.5), are:
T
1
M
22 0
T
Lm
The effective forces, Eq. (13.1.4), are
Substituting n, m, and n
in Eq. (13.1.6) gives
0
0
The modal expansion of effective forces is shown in Fig.
P13.18. The effective forces in the first two modes are
Part b
The response is only due to the third mode; from Eq.
(13.1.10):
Part c
The first two modes are not excited. Due to the third
mode, the bending moments at the base of the column and
