Abstract
- In this paper, a novel model for a single-storey irregular-plan building, subjected to earthquake and harmonic translational excitation, is presented to consider non-linear inertial coupling terms, which are ignored in conventional linear models. Furthermore, the effect of internal resonance is investigated. The governing equations of motion for a model of this type of structure are achieved in a non-inertial rotational system of reference, attached to the centre of mass of the rigid diaphragm of its floor. Non-linearities are caused by non-linear inertial coupled lateral and torsional responses. Using the method of multiple scales, the non-linear equations are reduced to approximate linear equations, and subsequently the dynamic stability of the steady-state responses near a two-to-one ratio of internal resonant conditions is studied. The difference between the responses of the proposed non-linear model and the conventional linear one is shown in time history and frequency domain analyses. By inspecting the effects of amplitude and frequency detuning parameters in the responses, some non-linear phenomena, such as saturation, hysteretic and jumping, are observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
