Abstract

The objective of present study is to understand application of AEM for dynamic analysis of structure. In applied element method structure is assumed to be divided into number of rigid elements connected by spring. Springs represents forces displacement relationship of structural elements. So, derivation of stiffness matrix in AEM is different than that of FEM. The present study deals with derivation of stiffness matrix and mass matrix for one dimensional and two dimensional elements. The application of Applied Element Method is illustrated through dynamic analysis of cantilever, beam is divided into four number of elements. The elements are connected through the springs, and natural frequency is also presented.
