Engineering Physics Annotation << Back STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF VISCOELASTIC DAMPS PARAMETERS ON THE RESPONSE OF THE REINFORCED CONCRETE DOME-TYPE SHELLS WITH CUTOUTS UNDER SEISMIC FORCES V.G. DMITRIEV, V.P. SPIRIDONOV, А.А. SUDYIN Influence of the integral values of damping viscoelastic elements’ parameters on the response of reinforced concrete shells of revolution with cutouts under seismic forces is investigated by the mathematical modeling methods. By the results of computational experiment the optimal values of both viscous and elastic components of the damping elements are defined, allowing to reduce the material consumption of reinforced concrete structures. Keywords: Mathematical modeling, shells, numerical methods, reinforced concrete structures, finite differences, conservative difference schemes. E-mail: dvgv@rambler.ru
