Notes on modeling earthquake dynamics with the spectral element method
We provide a detailed presentation and discussion of a numerical modeling technique for earthquake dynamics based on the spectral element method. The problem of dynamic frictional contact along slip interfaces in elastic domains is formulated in a hybrid variational form, with Lagrange multipliers associated to the fault tractions. The problem is discretized in space by a spectral element metho...
متن کاملModelling blockage effects using a spectral element method
We employ a two-dimensional spectral element method to investigate the effect of various semi-circular blockages on the laminar flow between two flat plates. This simplified geometry has a general relevance to blocked flows, but more academically, also relates to work on the backward-facing step, presenting a qualitatively similar flow with a single, independent step, or blockage, parameter. Th...
متن کاملFree and Forced Transverse Vibration Analysis of Moderately Thick Orthotropic Plates Using Spectral Finite Element Method
In the present study, a spectral finite element method is developed for free and forced transverse vibration of Levy-type moderately thick rectangular orthotropic plates based on first-order shear deformation theory. Levy solution assumption was used to convert the two-dimensional problem into a one-dimensional problem. In the first step, the governing out-of-plane differential equations are tr...
متن کاملVibration of Timoshenko Beam-Soil Foundation Interaction by Using the Spectral Element Method
This article presents an analysis of free vibration of elastically supported Timoshenko beams by using the spectral element method. The governing partial differential equation is elaborated to formulate the spectral stiffness matrix. Effectively, the non classical end boundary conditions of the beam are the primordial task to calibrate the phenomenon of the Timoshenko beam-soil foundation inter...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF 2D BUILDING FRAMES UNDER ARTIFICIAL EARTHQUAKE GROUND MOTIONS USING POLYGONAL FINITE ELEMENT METHOD
In this article, topology optimization of two-dimensional (2D) building frames subjected to seismic loading is performed using the polygonal finite element method. Artificial ground motion accelerograms compatible with the design response spectrum of ASCE 7-16 are generated for the response history dynamic analysis needed in the optimization. The mean compliance of structure is minimized as a t...
