Abstract: |
Nonlinear dynamics theory and chaotic time series analysis are suggested to examine the chaotic characteristic of dynamic responses of single degree of freedom (SDOF) system subjected to earthquake ground motions in this paper. The typical near-fault ground motion records are selected as the seismic input. Then, the chaotic time series analysis is applied to calculate quantitatively the nonlinear characteristic parameters of acceleration responses of elastic and inelastic SDOF systems with representative periods. Numerical results show that the correlation dimension of these acceleration responses is fractal dimension, and their maximal Lyapunov exponent is larger than 0. Moreover, it is illustrated that the seismic dynamic responses of SDOF system under earthquake excitation present the chaotic character rather than the pure random signal, which provides us new approach and new perspective for understanding the irregularity and complexity of the seismic dynamic responses of structures. |
