A family of dissipative structure-dependent integration methods
Shuenn-Yih Chang, Tsui-Huang Wu and Ngoc-Cuong Tran

 
Abstract
    new family of structure-dependent integration methods is developed to enhance with desired numerical damping. This family method preserves the most important advantage of the structure-dependent integration method, which can integrate unconditional stability and explicit formulation together, and thus it is very computationally efficient. In addition, its numerical damping can be continuously controlled with a parameter. Consequently, it is best suited to solving an inertia-type problem, where the unimportant high frequency responses can be suppressed or even eliminated by the favorable numerical damping while the low frequency modes can be very accurately integrated.
 
Key Words
    unconditional stability; explicit formulation; numerical damping; accuracy; structuredependent integration method
