A Simplified Method for Dynamic Analysis of a Guyed Mast
نویسنده
چکیده
The dynamic response of a guyed mast is relatively larger than for other structures. Thus a proper evaluation of the dynamic response is of major importance. The proposed simplified method separates the dynamic response into a low-frequency, background region and a high-frequency, resonant region. The background response has been estimated using patch loading. The resonant responses can be taken into account by multiplying the background response by a dynamic magnification factor. This factor depends, in a systematic way, on the average structural properties of the mast. The approach is illustrated by examples, and compared to a statistical method.
