A single-mass system with clearance and two springs is initially deflected. Determine the natural oscillations of the system - deflection, velocity, and acceleration time course.
This verification example is based on Verification Example 0122. A single-mass system without damping is subjected to an axial loading force. An ideal elastic-plastic material with characteristics is assumed. Determine the time course of the end-point deflection, velocity, and acceleration.
A very stiff cable is suspended between two supports. Determine the equilibrium shape of the cable (the catenary), consider the gravitational acceleration, and neglect the stiffness of the cable. Verify the position of the cable at the given test points.
Time history analysis of a cantilever beam (SDOF system) excited by a periodic function. Vertical deformations and accelerations calculated with direct integration and modal analysis in RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Forced Vibrations are compared with the analytical solution.
