Abstract

This paper considers the errors associated with the reduction of the structural static degrees of freedom before performing a dynamic analysis. It is shown that the standard methods of performing the reduction can lead to significant errors especially for the member loads computed in a forced vibration problem. A modified reduction is developed which is shown to significantly reduce the errors. The standard and modified methods are applied to a cantilever beam, a gabled frame, and a piping system.
