1. Reference problem#
1.1. Geometry#
We consider a slender structure with a length \(0.25m\) and a section \(0.05m\ast 0.03m\).

1.2. Material properties#
The material is isotropic elastic whose properties are:
Young’s module \(E=2.1{10}^{11}\mathit{Pa}\)
Poisson’s ratio \(\nu =0.3\)
Density \(\rho =7800\mathit{kg}/\mathit{m³}\)
Hysteretic damping \(\eta =0.01\)
1.3. Boundary conditions and loads#
We impose a zero displacement on the abscissa face \(y=0.25m\)
To calculate the harmonic response, a vertical point excitation of amplitude \((1+\mathrm{0.5j})/2\) is applied to the coordinate point \((0m\mathrm{,0}.1375m,0.03m)\).
