The method is developed in the frequency domain. The expression of the proposed method consists of three terms, i.e., modal velocity response, modal displacement response, and coupled (between modal velocity and modal displacement response). Numerical results from the parametric study and three example structures reveal that the modal velocity response term and the coupled term are important to structural response estimates only for a dynamic system with a tuned mass damper. In typical cases, the modal displacement term can provide response estimates with satisfactory accuracy by itself, so that the modal velocity term and coupled term may be ignored without loss of accuracy. This is used to simplify the response computation of non-classically damped structures. For the white noise excitation, three modal correlation coefficients in closed form are derived. To consider the modal velocity response term and the coupled term, a simplified approximation based on white noise excitation is developed for the case when the modal velocity response is important to the structural responses. Numerical results show that the approximate expression based on white noise excitation can provide structural responses with satisfactory accuracy.展开更多

The approach,which is named the perturbation spectrum method,can provide a more accurate evaluation of a non-classically damped system's mean peak response in terms of the ground response spectrum. To account for the effect of non-classical damping,all elements are included in the proposed method for seismic analysis of structure,which is usually ap-proximated by ignoring the off-diagonal elements of the modal damping matrix. Moreover,as has been adopted in the traditional Complete Quadratic Combination (CQC) method,the white noise model is also used to simplify the expressions of perturbation correlation coefficients. Finally,numerical work is performed to examine the accuracy of the proposed method by comparing the approximate results with exact ones and to demonstrate the importance of the neglected off-diagonal elements of the modal damping matrix. In the examined cases,the proposed method shows good agreement with direct time-history integration. Also,the perturbation spectrum method leads to a more efficient and economical calculation by avoiding the integral and complex operation.展开更多
