Different methodologies for shear-building impact analysis

Resumo

In structural analysis, the great important topic concerns the safety and stability of the structure when it
is subject to an impact load. The science of mechanical shock used to be a complex analysis in structural dynamics
area. Thus, it is proposed to investigate different methodologies of impact analysis in a shear-building. The
modelling of the problem consists of applying a short load and linear solid finite elements with 3 degrees of
freedom per node. Before, to validate the computacional analysis, one beam was evaluated. The results were also
compared with the analytical calculation. The response history shows a good agreement and some of the
advantages and disadvantages of each numerical method were highlighted.
