Abstract

A new modal method to derive the response of nonlinear structures in time domain will be presented. The modal capacity method reflects the nonlinear behavior of a structure by one or more nonlinear modes. Therefore a new superposition method was developed. The modal SDOF systems depend not only on the modal parameters (ω, φ,...) but also on the time history of impulse (earthquake, force,...) itself. This very new assumption can be expressed by so called amplification factors. Because of the modal working technique the modal capacity method can use a parallel computer in a very efficient way.
