SolidWorks Simulation: How Do We Understand Response Spectrum Analysis?

Any loading can be understood as transient, but it can also be understood as a spectrum of waves. Treating dynamic problem inputs and outputs as a combination of waves (or wave spectrum) simplifies the problem by removing the concept of time. However, the solution is approximate and with certain limitations. You can use a response … Continue reading SolidWorks Simulation: How Do We Understand Response Spectrum Analysis?

SolidWorks Simulation: How Do We Understand Harmonic Response Analysis?

What is harmonic response analysis? Let's start this post by a simple example: A single degree of freedom oscillator loaded with a time varying force F. The solution to this problem is known in closed form. If the force F oscillates, the resulting displacement will oscillate in the same oscillatory fashion. The phase angle Φ, … Continue reading SolidWorks Simulation: How Do We Understand Harmonic Response Analysis?
