Response Spectrum (Modal Superposition) Analysis
Engineers use response spectrum (modal superposition) analysis to determine the structural response to sudden forces or shocks such as an earthquake. During an earthquake, violent shaking is transmitted into a structure at the points where it is attached to the ground. To help engineers design sound structures, response spectrum (modal superposition) analysis is used in conjunction with information gathered by instruments from past earthquakes. An engineer can determine how a structure would react to a past real-world earthquake and consider this in any new design. Response spectrum (modal superposition) analysis can also help engineers design components for nuclear power plants, such as nuclear reactor parts, pumps, valves, piping and condensers. ALGOR's response spectrum (modal superposition) analysis uses formulae recommended by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
