Theoretical and experimental study of structure dynamic

Abstract

When the building response to earthquakes, each floor can be idealized of a total mass at a floor level, and the walls can be modeled as a massless transverse springs. A three story buildings model is designed and a scotch-yoke mechanism is used to simulate an earthquake to give the base a sinusoidal motion. The continuous system is analyzed as a discrete system, and dynamic behavior is described by a set of three order differential equation, solved by an elementary method procedure. The particular and homogenous solution is found and simulated theoretically, and the comparison to practical results is done To simulate this results a matlab simulation program is used to give a good user friendly environments.
