Question

In structural dynamics how do you determine which structure has a more favorable response? I am pretty certain that the displacement, shear, and overturning moment determine it, but I don't know how.

Answer 1

There are so many techniques to take the response of the structure

1- Strain guages techniuqes

2- Piezoelectric wires

3- Accelerometer

They all have their own principal of working

Like i take the example of accelerometer , it measures the acceleration of the structure part

and we know that

We take lot of data at different time interval we plot these datas through using software

Now the points where the response of the structure is maximum is the point of favouravle response of the structure

that how we determine the favourable response of the structure.
