Time history Analysis

[Shihab Ahammed]

Time History Analysis of Structures is carried out when the input is in the form of specified time history of ground motion.

Time History Analysis is performed using Direct Integration Methods or by using Fourier Transformation Technique.

In the Direct Integration Method, there are many integration schemes; two most popular among them are-

1. Duhamel Integration
2. Newmark’s B Method
for both of the above two methods, a recursive relationship is derived to find responses at k+1th time station for a given Kth time station value…

To solve the above methods conventionally for a MDOF (Multi Degree of Freedom System) is a cumbersome task… However, the above methods can be easily coded on MATLAB and solved very easily
