• Dynamic Response Spectrum Inputs not affecting natural frequency results

    I am attempting to find the natural frequency of my staircase model as shown below using the total weight of the structure distributed evenly over every node as a nodal mass in the Ty direction. My issue is, I am able to get a frequency running the dynamic…
  • Can RAM Elements be used for vibration analysis of stairs?

    I have a stair that I'm concerned may be susceptible to vibrational issues. I've often used RAM Elements to model a variety of stair configurations under gravity loads and ELF seismic loading, but can it also be used to check for vibration? Most of the…
  • Frequency Check between Structure and Paddle Mixer

    Hi, I really need you help on this problem. We have a paddle mixer with Frequency at 1800rpm. We have extended the existing structure to accomodate the paddle mixer. Now we run a frequency check and compared it with the limits of 80%-120% of the…
  • Natural frequency calculation

    I referred example 28 of American examples to calculate frequency. I gave cut off mode shape 100. In the output, I found that the frequency increases with each mode. I am confused which mode should be considered for obtaining natural frequency? I need…
  • RE: Could I input Pump Frequency in Staad to find natural frequency of pump support structural steel

    The natural frequency calculation for the structure is based on a free vibration analysis. So you do not need to input the machine frequency for that. However you can find out the response of the structure to the vibrating machinery by carrying out a…
