Study on the Seismic Response of a Portal Frame Structure Based on the Transfer Matrix Method of Multibody System

Portal frame structures are widely used in industrial building design but unfortunately are often damaged during an earthquake. As a result, a study on the seismic response of this type of structure is important to both human safety and future building designs. Traditionally, finite element methods...
