Nonlinear dynamic response of MDOF systems by the
method of harmonic differential quadrature (HDQ)
Omer Civalek

 
Abstract
    A harmonic type differential quadrature approach for nonlinear dynamic analysis of multi-degree-of-freedom systems has been developed. A series of numerical examples is conducted to assess the performance of the HDQ method in linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis problems. Results are compared with the existing solutions available from other analytical and numerical methods. In all cases, the results obtained are quite accurate.
 
Key Words
