would u pls tell me how we can calculate time history of the system's natural period for analyse the damage mechanism of the struscture.
for example when the peak acceleration of input seismic wave is 300 Gal,at first structure is in the elastic range ,about five second later the stucture comes to the nonlinear deformation range,and its natural period is changed with the time. I want to calculate the time history of the system's natural period and draw the period-time diagram,this diagram called damage line of structure.
Thank you for your help.
