Research on laterally restrained built up steel beam under dynamic response

Abstract

This paper presents the analytical investigation of laterally restrained built up steel beam under dynamic response using finite element software ABAQUS. The main objective of this study was to estimate the mode shapes and mode shape curvature of the laterally restrained built up steel beam. The three parameters such as modal frequencies, mode shapes and mode shape curvature are suggested for identifying the damages in built up steel beam. Damage assessment is done by linear perturbation free vibration study using finite element software ABAQUS. The frequency extraction methods for built up steel beam was done in ABAQUS to get the dynamic response. The Lanczos eigen solver was used for finding the mode shapes. Eigen value extraction, the natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes of a system were studied.
