This paper proposes an implicit and unconditionally stable two-sub-step composite time integration method with controllable numerical dissipation for general dynamics called the two-sub-step generalized central difference (TGCD) method. The proposed method is established by performing the generalized central difference scheme in two sub-steps as the nondissipative and dissipative parts to ensure amplitude accuracy and controllable damping, respectively. It is accurate to the second order, with the amount of numerical dissipation controlled exactly by the spectral radius [Formula: see text]. In addition, the related parameters of the proposed method are determined by optimizing the amplitude and phase accuracy of the free vibration of a single degree-of-freedom system. Several representative linear and nonlinear numerical examples are analyzed to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method in terms of accuracy, stability and efficiency, especially its stability in solving nonlinear problems.

Based on the newly proposed generalized Galerkin weak form (GGW) method, a two-step time integration method with controllable numerical dissipation is presented. In the first sub-step, the GGW method is used, and in the second sub-step, a new parameter is introduced by using the idea of a trapezoidal integral. According to the numerical analysis, it can be concluded that this method is unconditionally stable and its numerical damping is controllable with the change in introduced parameters. Compared with the GGW method, this two-step scheme avoids the fast numerical dissipation in a low-frequency range. To highlight the performance of the proposed method, some numerical problems are presented and illustrated which show that this method possesses superior accuracy, stability and efficiency compared with conventional trapezoidal rule, the Wilson method, and the Bathe method. High accuracy in a low-frequency range and controllable numerical dissipation in a high-frequency range are both the merits of the method.

In this work, a study of a three substeps’ implicit time integration method called the Wen method for nonlinear finite element analysis is conducted. The calculation procedure of the Wen method for nonlinear analysis is proposed. The basic algorithmic property analysis shows that the Wen method has good performance on numerical dissipation, amplitude decay, and period elongation. Three nonlinear dynamic problems are analyzed by the Wen method and other competitive methods. The result comparison indicates that the Wen method is feasible and efficient in the calculation of nonlinear dynamic problems. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation illustrate that the Wen method has desirable solution accuracy and can be a good candidate for nonlinear dynamic problems.

This paper presents a step-by-step time integration method for transient solutions of nonlinear structural dynamic problems. Taking the second-order nonlinear dynamic equations as the model problem, this self-starting one-step algorithm is constructed using the Galerkin finite element method (FEM) and Newton–Raphson iteration, in which it is recommended to adopt time elements of degree m = 1,2,3. Based on the mathematical and numerical analysis, it is found that the method can gain a convergence order of 2m for both displacement and velocity results when an ordinary Gauss integral is implemented. Meanwhile, with reduced Gauss integration, the method achieves unconditional stability. Furthermore, a feasible integration scheme with controllable numerical damping has been established by modifying the test function and introducing a special integral rule. Representative numerical examples show that the proposed method performs well in stability with controllable numerical dissipation, and its computational efficiency is superior as well.

A new three-dimensional finite element model of an inextensible elastic rod with equal principal stiffnesses is presented. The model permits large deflections and finite rotations and accounts for tension variation along its length. Its use in static analysis is described and a time integration method for dynamic analysis is developed. Accuracy of the spatial discretization and stability of the time integration method are demonstrated by comparison of numerical results with exact solutions for certain nonlinear problems.

Central Difference Method

An explicit time integration method is presented for the linear and nonlinear dynamic analyses of structures. Using two parameters and employing the Taylor series expansion, a family of second-order accurate methods for the solution of dynamic problems is derived. The proposed scheme includes the central difference method as a special case, while damping is shown to exert no effect on the solution accuracy. The proposed method is featured by the following facts: (i) the relative period error is almost zero for specific values of the parameters; (ii) the numerical dissipation contained can help filter out spurious high-frequency components; and (iii) the crucial lower modes are generally unaffected in the integration. Although the proposed method is conditionally stable, it has an appropriate region of stability, and is self-starting. The numerical tests indicate the improved performance of the proposed technique over the central difference method.
