Analysis Stability

A stability analysis is carried out for a new family of implicit-explicit finite-element algorithms. The analysis shows that unconditional stability may be achieved for the implicit finite elements and that the critical time step of the explicit elements governs for the system.

Critical Time Step

AbstractIn 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.
