Computational Structures

Two families of higher-order accurate time integration algorithms are numerically tested by using various nonlinear problems of structural dynamics, and the numerical results obtained from them are compared. To be specific, the higher-order algorithms of Kim and Reddy and the higher-order algorithms of Fung are used for this study. In linear analyses, these two different families of higher-order algorithms do not present noticeable differences. However, performances of these algorithms are quite different when they are applied to various nonlinear dynamic problems. For the numerical tests, well-known nonlinear problems are selected from the past studies. For the completeness, the two families of algorithms are briefly reviewed, and their advantageous computational structures are also explained.

Integration Algorithms

For the development of a new family of implicit higher-order time integration algorithms, mixed formulations that include three time-dependent variables (i.e., the displacement, velocity, and acceleration vectors) are developed. Equal degree Lagrange type interpolation functions in time are used to approximate the dependent variables in the mixed formulations, and the time finite element method and the modified weighted-residual method are applied to the velocity–displacement and velocity–acceleration relations of the mixed formulations. Weight parameters are introduced and optimized to achieve preferable attributes of the time integration algorithms. Specific problems of structural dynamics are used in the numerical examples to discuss some fundamental limitations of the well-known second-order accurate algorithms as well as to demonstrate advantages of using the developed higher-order algorithms.

Hermite Approximation

For the development of a new family of higher-order time integration algorithms for structural dynamics problems, the displacement vector is approximated over a typical time interval using the pth-degree Hermite interpolation functions in time. The residual vector is defined by substituting the approximated displacement vector into the equation of structural dynamics. The modified weighted-residual method is applied to the residual vector. The weight parameters are used to restate the integral forms of the weighted-residual statements in algebraic forms, and then, these parameters are optimized by using the single-degree-of-freedom problem and its exact solution to achieve improved accuracy and unconditional stability. As a result of the pth-degree Hermite approximation of the displacement vector, pth-order (for dissipative cases) and (p + 1)st-order (for the nondissipative case) accurate algorithms with dissipation control capabilities are obtained. Numerical examples are used to illustrate performances of the newly developed algorithms.

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.
