Lecture

Elastic response: Seismic engineering

Description

This lecture covers the seismic response of an elastic Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) system, focusing on horizontal displacement. It explains the equation of motion, damping, spring, and inertia forces, as well as the numerical evaluation using Newmark's method. The lecture also discusses the period, angular frequency, and damping coefficient, providing practical examples and references for further study.
