Comparative study on explicit integration algorithms for structural dynamics

2022-8
Çakır, Dilara
Conventional explicit integration algorithms used to solve structural dynamic problems may require too small time increments to satisfy the stability requirements in the presence of high-frequency modes. The requirement to have a too small time increment can cause extending the solution time above the tolerable limit. In this study, three different explicit integration algorithms found in the literature are compared in terms of stability, accuracy, and run-time. The examined integration methods are a two-step integration algorithm, a mass scaling method, and an unconditionally stable explicit algorithm. The performance of each algorithm has been discussed by implementing them in MATLAB and solving various structural dynamic problems. Obtained results are then compared with the solutions of Newmark’s explicit integration algorithm, which is considered the reference solution method.

PARALLEL IMPLEMENTATION OF MLFMA FOR HOMOGENEOUS OBJECTS WITH VARIOUS MATERIAL PROPERTIES
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2011-01-01)
We present a parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) for fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems involving homogeneous objects with diverse material properties. Problems are formulated rigorously with the electric and magnetic current combined-field integral equation (JMCFIE) and solved iteratively using MLFMA parallelized with the hierarchical partitioning strategy. Accuracy and efficiency of the resulting implementation are demonstrated on canonical prob...
Nonlinear Seismic Dam and Foundation Analysis Using Explicit Newmark Integration Method with Static Condensation
Albostan, Utku; Bahcecioglu, Tunc; Arıcı, Yalın; Kurç, Özgür (Elsevier BV; 2017-09-13)
Engineers use the explicit Newmark integration method to analyze nonlinear dynamic problems. Instead of using computationally expensive global matrix assembly and factorization, the explicit integration method performs computations at element level which is computationally efficient, easily parallelizable, and does not require equilibrium iterations in case of nonlinear analysis. On the other hand, the explicit schema might require much smaller time steps compared to implicit integration alternative especia...
PARALLEL MULTILEVEL FAST MULTIPOLE ALGORITHM FOR COMPLEX PLASMONIC METAMATERIAL STRUCTURES
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2013-11-09)
A parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is developed for fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems involving complex plasmonic metamaterial structures. Composite objects that consist of multiple penetrable regions, such as dielectric, lossy, and plasmonic parts, are formulated rigorously with surface integral equations and solved iteratively via MLFMA. Using the hierarchical strategy for the parallelization, the developed implementation is capable of simul...
Comparison of ASCE/SEI Standard and modal pushover-based ground motion scaling procedures for pre-tensioned concrete bridges
Özgenoğlu, Müge; Arıcı, Yalın (2017-01-01)
Complex analysis methods such as non-linear time-history analyses (NTHA) are often required for the design of non-standard bridges. The selection of the ground motions for the NTHA is a crucial task as the results of the analyses show a wide variability according to the selected records. In order to predict the demand in accordance with the seismic hazard conditions of the site, the selected motions are usually modified by scaling procedures. Within this context, the performance of two scaling methods, name...
Analytical modeling of the machine tool spindle dynamics under operational conditions
Özşahin, Orkun; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (null; 2012-07-27)
Chatter is an important problem in machining operations, and can be avoided by utilizing stability diagrams which are generated using frequency response functions (FRF) at the tool tip. In general, tool point FRF is obtained experimentally or analytically for the idle state of the machine. However, during high speed cutting operations, gyroscopic effects and changes of contact stiffness and damping at the interfaces as well as the changes in the bearing properties may lead to variations in the tool point FR...
