Industrial structures
Dynamic finite element analysis of structures to determine:
The results from the above finite element analyses can be assessed for various objectives, such as:
- Natural frequencies and mode shapes
- Steady-state dynamic response to harmonic excitation
- Transient dynamic response to events such as start-up
- Frequency response analysis for stochastic vibrations
- Spectrum response analysis for seismic loading
- Structural velocities and accelerations
The results from the above finite element analyses can be assessed for various objectives, such as:
- Design fatigue life
- Human exposure to vibration
- Vibration limits to which mounted machinery will be exposed
- Serviceability requirements
- Ultimate strength in the case of seismic loading
