A Weighted Residual Parabolic Acceleration Time Integration Method for Problems in Structural Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the proposed method, the variation of displacement in each time step is assumed to be a fourth order polynomial in time and its five unknown coefficients are calculated based on: two initial conditions from the previous time step; satisfying the equation of motion at both ends of the time step; and the zero weighted residual within the time step. This method is non-dissipative and its dispersion is considerably less than in other popular methods. The stability of the method shows that the critical time step is more than twice of that for the linear acceleration method and its convergence is of fourth order. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65L05, 65D30, 37M10.

Least squares weighted residual method for finding the elastic stress fields in rectangular plates under uniaxial parabolically distributed edge loads
In this work, the least squares weighted residual method is used to solve the two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problem of a rectangular plate of in-plane dimensions 2a 2b subjected to parabolic edge tensile loads applied at the two edges x = a. The problem is expressed using Beltrami–Michell stress formulation. Airy’s stress function method is applied to the stress compatibility equation, and th...

متن کاملA novel modification of decouple scaled boundary finite element method in fracture mechanics problems
In fracture mechanics and failure analysis, cracked media energy and consequently stress intensity factors (SIFs) play a crucial and significant role. Based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM), the SIFs and energy of cracked media may be estimated. This study presents the novel modification of decoupled scaled boundary finite element method (DSBFEM) to model cracked media. In this metho...
متن کاملGoal-Oriented Error Estimation for the Fractional Step Theta Scheme
In this work, we derive a goal-oriented a posteriori error estimator for the error due to time-discretization of nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations by the fractional step theta method. This time-stepping scheme is assembled by three steps of the general theta method, that also unifies simple schemes like forward and backward Euler as well as the Crank–Nicolson method. Further, b...
