Abstract
In Part I we analyzed and obtained the dynamic response for structures modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom system. Only if the structure can assume a unique shape during its motion will the single-degree model provide the exact dynamic response. Otherwise, when the structure takes more than one possible shape during motion, the solution obtained from a single-degree model will be at best, only an approximation to the true dynamic behavior.
