A family of single-step Houbolt time integration algorithms for structural dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 explicit predictor-correcter algorithm is presented based upon the new implicit scheme. The explicit algorithm is spectraily equivalent to the central difference method. The two new algorithms are merged into an implicit-explicit method, resulting in an improved algorithm for solving structural dynamics problems composed of 'soft' and 'stiff' domains. Numerical results are presented demonstrating the improved performance of the new implicit-explicit method compared to previously developed implicit-explicit schemes for structural dynamics.

A 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...

In this paper new implicit higher order accuracy (N-IHOA) time integration based on assumption of constant time step is presented for dynamic analysis. This method belongs to the category of the multi time step integrations. Here, current displacement and velocity are assumed to be functions of the velocities and accelerations of several previous time steps, respectively. This definition causes...
متن کاملExplicit Momentum Conserving Algorithms for Rigid Body Dynamics
Two new explicit time integration algorithms are presented for solving the equations of motion of rigid body dynamics that identically preserve angular momentum in the absence of applied torques. This is achieved by expressing the equations of motion in conservation form. Both algorithms also eliminate the need for computing the angular acceleration. The first algorithm employs a one-pass predi...
