When simulating the behavior of a mechanical system, the time evolution of the generalized coordinates used to represent the configuration of the model is computed as the solution of a combined set of ordinary differential and algebraic equations (DAEs). There are several ways in which the numerical solution of the resulting index 3 DAE problem can be approached. The most well-known and time-ho...

In this paper new implicit higher order accuracy (N-IHOA) time integration based on assumption of constant time step is presented for dynamic analysis. This method belongs to the category of the multi time step integrations. Here, current displacement and velocity are assumed to be functions of the velocities and accelerations of several previous time steps, respectively. This definition causes...

We introduce and analyze a new mixed finite element method with reduced symmetry for the standard linear model in viscoelasticity. Following previous approach employed elastodynamics, present problem is formulated as second-order hyperbolic partial differential equation which, after using motion to eliminate displacement unknown, stress tensor remains main variable be found. The resulting varia...

The mechanism of seismic-induced bedding rock landslide is distinct from that slope instability/landslide in normal gravity conditions; their failure modes are mainly characterized by vibration deterioration effect mass structural plane due to a seismic loading, which has significant on the stability landslide. Several advanced methods have been proposed assess earthquake-induced However, quant...

This paper presents nonlinear elastic dynamic analysis of 3-D semi-rigid steel frames including geometric and connection nonlinearities. The geometric nonlinearity is considered by using stability functions and updating geometric stiffness matrix. The nonlinear behavior of the steel beam-to-column connection is considered by using a zero-length independent connection element comprising of six t...

This article presents the analysis of functionally graded thick hollow cylinders under dynamic load. The functionally graded cylinder is assumed to be made of many subcylinders. Each subcylinder is considered as an isotropic layer. Material’s properties in each layer are constant and functionally graded properties are resulted by suitable arrangement of layers in multilayer cylinder. The proper...

This review article revisits and outlines the perfectly matched layer (PML) method its various formulations developed over past 25 years for numerical modeling simulation of wave propagation in unbounded media. Based on concept complex coordinate stretching, an efficient mixed displacement-strain unsplit-field PML formulation second-order (displacementbased) linear elastodynamic equations is th...

In order to study the dynamic response of LNG storage tank under action seismic load and isolation effect lead-core rubber bearing, this paper establishes experimental model with reference structural form large-scale tank, test is obtained using a shaking table test. Simplified mechanical models non-isolated isolated tanks are proposed responses corresponding calculated Newmark-beta method. Und...

the current building codes provide limited prescriptive guidance on design for protection of buildings due to progressive collapse. progressive collapse is a situation in which a localized failure in a structure, caused by an abnormal load, such as explosions or other happenings. three procedures, often employed for determination of the structural response during progressive collapse i.e. linea...
