Modified Reiher-Meister Scale Analysis Procedure
Modified Reiher-Meister Scale Analysis Procedure
1. Compute the transformed moment of inertia of composite beam, It.
2. Compute the natural frequency of the beam, f.
3. Compute the initial maximum amplitude of the beam, Aot.
4. Account for the stiffness contribution of adjacent beams by estimating the total effective number of beams, Neff.
5. Compute a modified initial maximum amplitude of the beam, accounting for the stiffness of adjacent beams, Ao.
6. Go to Reiher-Meister chart with f and Ao to check perceptibility.
MURRAY: SYSTEMS THAT PLOT ABOVE THE UPPER ONE-HALF OF THE DISTINCTLY PERCEPTIBLE RANGE WILL RESULT IN COMPLAINTS.
