description | Although many families of integration methods have been successfully developed with desired numerical properties, such as second order accuracy, unconditional stability and numerical dissipation, they are generally implicit methods. Thus, an iterative procedure is often involved for each time step in conducting time integration. Many computational efforts will be consumed by implicit methods when compared to explicit methods. In general, the structure-dependent integration methods (SDIMs) are very computationally efficient for solving a general structural dynamic problem. A new family of SDIM is proposed. It exhibits the desired numerical properties of second order accuracy, unconditional stability, explicit formulation and no overshoot. The numerical properties are controlled by a single free parameter. The proposed family method generally has no adverse disadvantage of unusual overshoot in high frequency transient responses that have been found in the currently available implicit integration methods, such as the WBZ-α method, HHT-α method and generalized-α method. Although this family method has unconditional stability for the linear elastic and stiffness softening systems, it becomes conditionally stable for stiffness hardening systems. This can be controlled by a stability amplification factor and its unconditional stability is successfully extended to stiffness hardening systems. The computational efficiency of the proposed method proves that engineers can do the accurate nonlinear analysis very quickly. |
