Spectra Analysis
A multi-material structure comprised of steel members and concrete panels is to be designed for earthquake loads. Two methods are compared: the equivalent static force analysis which is the standard method described in IBC 2012 and the response spectra analysis which is a more general method. Both lead to the same internal and reaction force results. This is to be verified in this example. "

The following RF-DYNAM Pro example presents two engines which induce vibrations on a steel frame by means of rotating unbalanced masses. Both engines work with a drive of 330 rpm. The mass of the rotor is 700 lb, and the eccentricity e is 0.75 in. The mass of a single engine is 1 ton. The load from the engine and unbalanced mass are to be distributed over the adjacent members.
