    The document discusses dynamic analysis of structures through three-sentence summaries: 1) It describes Grace Kao's four-story frame model with replaceable plastic hinges that was tested on a shake table to analyze plastic hinge behavior under seismic loads. 2) The model's plastic hinge dimensions are defined to accurately represent member stiffnesses and yield moments based on numerical analysis. 3) A free vibration test was conducted on the top floor of the model to measure displacement over time and understand dynamic structural response.
