3. Modeling A#

3.1. Characteristics of modeling#

The characteristics used and the mesh are those deduced from the data in paragraph 1. Harmonic response and transfer functions have been calculated for reduced frequencies \(>\) (where \(>\)). The results obtained by Mita and Luco for these reduced frequencies are presented in the reference [bib2].

3.2. Characteristics of the mesh#

The circular foundation mesh is shown below (see §1.1):

3.3. Tested sizes and results#

For the case with spatial variability, we choose \(>\) and we test against the results of the literature (SOURCE_EXTERNE) with a tolerance of \(>\).

Results achieved with DYNA_ISS_VARIpour \(>\) and:

In addition, a NON_REGESSION test is done for the values calculated by DYNA_ISS_VARI with a tolerance of \(>\) (by default value).

Comparison of transfer functions \(>\) obtained with DYNA_ISS_VARI and with Mita and Luco:

For case \(>\), we test the response after projection onto physical coordinates. Since the foundation is rigid and massless, all the nodes undergo the same displacement which is equal to 1.0 in direction \(>\) for an excitation in direction \(>\).

\(>\)

\(>\) is the modal impedance matrix, \(>\) the modal response and \(>\) for a seismic excitation in the \(>\) direction and \(>\) for a vertical earthquake.

With a via REST_SPEC_PHYS projection, we get the result:

A test of type ANALYTIQUE is carried out with a tolerance of \(>\) for “DX” and \(>\) for “DZ”.
