An Innovative Method for Evaluating the Dynamic Response of Inelastic Structures with Frequency-Dependent SSI
Abstract eng: This paper presents application examples of the Gyromass Element Method (GEM), a newly proposed method (Saitoh 2007) that can calculate the time-history response of inelastic structures supported by soil-foundation systems showing frequency-dependent oscillations in impedance functions. A “gyromass” is an element defined as a unit system that generates a reaction force due to the relative acceleration of the nodes between which the gyromass is placed. In this study, the precision of simulations by using GEM is assessed. This study also confirms the feasibility of a model formed by combining the previously proposed models.
