With vigorous development of hydroelectric source in west China, the anti-seismic security issue of dam engineering attracted particular attention. This paper presented the principle of dynamic time-history analysis method and established the model with the assistance of finite element method and combined with practical engineering for further analysis on the dynamic response of displacement and stress of dam’s dynamic time-history analysis to the time history. According to the result, it is feasible and necessary to apply the dynamic time-history analysis method to study the anti-seismic performance of the dam. Furthermore, it pointed out the weak part of the dam in anti-seismic function as well as the area concentrated with critical stress, providing reference for future anti-seismic engineering and shock resistance.

In order to make sure the structures have well seismic performance, the designer adopt dynamic time-history analysis method .But there is a problem to calculate the dynamic response of the structures which is how to find a scientific and reasonable criterion to select seismic wave records. In order to solve this problem and find a scientific and proper criterion to select seismic wave records, this paper referred to the standards ruled by the new Chinese Seismic Design Code for hydraulic structures and used the numerical analysis and scientific computation, conducted a well meticulous analysis, then put forward one way to select seismic records for time-history analysis method of hydro-structure. Except for taking the site condition, the fortified intensity, the duration into consideration, the author also give more emphasis on the fitting degree between the response spectra of seismic records with the new code to provide better fitting degree.

General Time

Transient dynamic analysis (sometimes called time-history analysis) is a technique used to determine the dynamic response of a structure under the action of any general time-dependent loads. The time scale of the loading is such that the inertia or damping effects are considered to be important. Present work is focused on performing the time history analysis of a typical locomotive coach using finite element analysis in Indian railroad conditions. Track surface irregularity in the form of an ellipsoidal bump is modelled with assumptions that the vehicle passes over the bump in 0.144 seconds, variation in displacement at different key locations of the truck and car body models is plotted against time under standard loading conditions. The response pattern of the front and rear portions of the locomotive truck and car body indicate that these locations are more susceptible to wheel excitations compared to that of the centre portions of it as they are away from the centre of gravity of the vehicle due to unbalanced mass distribution.

In this study, effect of analysis variables on structural integrity of nuclear piping under beyond design basis earthquake was investigated via performing dynamic time history seismic analysis. A finite element model of the piping system such as shut-down cooling line was developed combining solid and beam elements. Dynamic time history analysis was performed via finite element elastic plastic stress analysis. Validity of the dynamic time history analysis procedure was verified via comparing with the previous study results. Finally, the effect of analysis variables such as finite element characteristics, transition length between elbow and straight line, fluid effect, etc. was investigated via performing parametric dynamic time history seismic analysis. As a result, it was found that use of the 1st incompatible element is recommended, the transition length is the same as curvature of the elbow, and fluid has to be considered.

The design process of the 100 m high reinforced concrete masonry building in China was firstly presented, deformation check calculation under earthquake action by mode-superposition response spectrum method and time-history analysis method were detailed and deformation under wind load was also checked. Then elastic-plastic deformation under earthquake action was checked by time-history analysis method and pushover analysis method with both under uniform load and reverse triangle load. The conclusion is construct 100 m high office building built in Fortification intensity 6 by reinforced concrete masonry is feasible. Then the building was redesigned as built in fortification 7, the same check was performed as that have been done in fortification 6, it is feasible too.

Acceleration Response Spectrum

Based on the vertical seismic information, the vertical seismic response spectrum was calculated by Matlab Lsim function. The seismic effect of Kiewitt-Lamella suspended-dome was measured by dynamic to static ratio. According to the EL-Centro seismic wave, it analyzed and compared the dynamic to static ratios which were calculated by the following four vertical seismic calculation methods respectively: the simplified method of specification, the mode-superposition response spectrum methods based on the horizontal earthquake affecting coefficients and the vertical acceleration response spectrum respectively, and the time history analysis method. Analysis shows that: For the seismic effect, the time history analysis method is larger than the other three methods, and the method based on the vertical acceleration response spectrum is closer to the time history analysis method. Owing to large difference of the four methods for seismic effect, various methods should be adopted to ensure the safety of vertical seismic design.

In this paper, we calculate and analyze a tall building project of seismic isolation design. It is a frame-shear wall structure, which has twelve stories on the ground. And then, we use the time history analysis method to calculate the isolation structure. It is found that isolation equipment can extend the period of the structure, reduce the story drift in frequency earthquake. And it also can control the response of the structure. In rare earthquake, the story drift can meet the demand of unclasped; the displacement and force of the equipment can satisfy the demand of the code for seismic design of building.
