- The single degree of freedom (SDOF) system that you studied under free vibration in Assignment #3 - Laboratory Component has been subjected to a strong ground motion. The acceleration at the base (excitation) and the acceleration at the roof (response) of the SDOF system was recorded with sampling rate 50 Hz (50 samples per second, or dt= 0.02 seconds). The file ElCentro.txt includes the two columns of acceleration data. The first column lists the acceleration at the base of the SDOF system. The second column lists the acceleration at the roof of the SDOF system. (a) Plot the time histories of the recorded accelerations at the base and at the roof of the SDOF system. (b) Compute the acceleration, velocity and displacement time histories of the roof of the SDOF system subjected to the recorded base acceleration using the Central Difference method.

Assume three cases of damping ratio: Case (A) ξ = 0%; Case (B) ξ = 2%; Case (C) ξ = 5%. The systems are initially at rest. Thus, the initial conditions are u(t = 0) = 0 and ̇u(t = 0) = 0. The systems are subjected to the base acceleration that was provided in the ElCentro.txt file (i.e., first column). For the systems in Case (A), Case (B), and Case (C) and for each natural period compute the peak acceleration, peak velocity, and peak displacement responses to the given base excitation. Please, use the Newmark method for β = 1/4 (average acceleration) to compute the responses. Create three plots with three lines in each plot. The first plot will have the peak accelerations in y-axis and the natural period of the system in x-axis. The second plot will have the peak velocities in y-axis and the natural period of the system in x-axis. The third plot…arrow_forwardDetermine the resultant stress at points P and Q.arrow_forward
