N2 - The response of secondary subsystems to short-duration excitation differs fundamentally from that of most structural systems. A method for nonstationary response analysis of general, linear, multiple-degree-of-freedom, multiply-supported secondary subsystems is presented. Through an example study, it is shown that, unlike ordinary structures, the peak response of secondary subsystems to short-duration earthquakes may occur long after termination of the excitation. Several essential characteristics of the response to short-duration seismic input are illustrated for the example secondary subsystem.
