Numerical Integration in Structural Dynamics

چکیده
where x is a vector of displacements of structural coordinates, M is a positive definite mass matrix, C is a non-negative definite damping matrix, and K is a non-negative definite stiffness matrix. The nonlinear restoring forces are given in R(x, ẋ) and f ext(t) is a vector of external dynamic loads. At any point in time, t = ti+1 = (i+ 1)h, we may solve for the accelerations in terms of the displacements, velocities, and the applied forces.

A General Rule for the Influence of Physical Damping on the Numerical Stability of Time Integration Analysis
The influence of physical damping on the numerical stability of time integration analysis is an open question since decades ago. In this paper, it is shown that, under specific very general conditions, physical damping can be disregarded when studying the numerical stability. It is also shown that, provided the specific conditions are met, analysis of structural systems involved in extremely hi...
متن کاملStable Integration of the Dynamic Cosserat Equations with Application to Hair Modeling
In this paper we propose a new method for stable numerical integration of the dynamic Cosserat equations for rods, which constitute a mechanical framework for the physically based modeling of slender structures like DNA strands, drill strings, marine cables or human hair. Our integration method is well-established in the field of structural dynamics and has the major advantage of unconditional ...
متن کاملA family of single-step Houbolt time integration algorithms for structural dynamics
A new family of implicit, single-step time integration methods is presented for solving structural dynamics problems. The proposed method is unconditionally stable, second-order accurate and asymptotically annihilating. It is spectrally equivalent to Houbolt's method but is cast in single-step form rather than multi-step form; thus the new algorithm computationally is more convenient. An explic...
متن کاملA solution of the random eigenvalue problem by a dimensional decomposition method
This paper presents a dimensional decomposition method for obtaining probabilistic descriptors of realvalued eigenvalues of positive semi-definite random matrices. The method involves a novel function decomposition allowing lower-variate approximations of eigenvalues, lower-dimensional numerical integration for statistical moments, and Lagrange interpolation facilitating efficient Monte Carlo s...
متن کاملA variationally consistent framework for the design of integrator and updates of generalized single step representations for structural dynamics
A variationally consistent framework leading to the concise design of both the ‘integrator’ and the associated ‘updates’ as related to the single step representations encompassing the so-called LMS methods for structural dynamics is described. The present paper shows for the rst time, a consistent treatment involving both the ‘integrator’ and ‘updates’ that are inherent in the general context o...
