Direct integration methods

Solutions for MDOF systems arc usually obtained through the use of finite element procedures. Due to nonlinearities associated with plasticity and possibly large displacements, the direct time integration method should be used. Various direct integration methods for time integration are employed but, the Newmark Method is perhaps he most common. Other methods, such as the Houboult Method, Wilson-T Method and the Central Difference Method are commonly used in finite element applications. Refer to Bathe 1995 for further details.

In spite of its simplicity the direct integral method has relatively good statistical properties and it may be even superior to the traditional indirect approach in ill-conditioned estimation problems (ref. 18). Good performance, however, can be expected only if the sampling is sufficiently dense and the measurement errors are moderate, since otherwise spline interpolation may lead to severely biased estimates. 

Computing the sensitivities is time consuming. Fortunately the direct integral approximation of the sensitivity matrix and its principal component analysis can offer almost the same information whenever the direct integral method of parameter estimation applies.

It is a remarkable fact that formula (5.183) gives an estimate that is — from the numerical point of view — somewhere between the estimate obtained from the direct differential method and from the direct integral method. A comparison of different methods has been given by Hosten (1979). 

The simulations are carried out for the first 20 s of the first three, and the first 100 s of the last three earthquakes. The major response is seen in this time frame, and it also allows for more detail in the illustrations. A direct integration method for the solution of the equation of motion in Eq. 18.2 is used. Superposition of modal responses is not possible for systems with non-proportional damping, as is the case with the current structure with added dampers. The Newmark p method (by using the unconditionally stable average acceleration method) is used as the solver for aU simulations in this study. The function that implements this ordinary differential equation (ODE) solver makes sure that the simulation time step is 20 times smaller than the smallest period of the structure. If this is not the case, it interpolates the excitation data for a smaller time step, and later outputs the response at a 0.01 s. In this work, the building type structure has a minimum period of 0.108 s. Thus, the simulation takes place at 0.108/20 = 0.0054 s.

These mixed differential-algebraic equations of motion for the robot were solved by a simple numerical algorithm. The secoi time derivatives of the constraint equations were appended to the differential equations of motion to form a linear set, which at any instant can be solved for the system acceleration and Lagrange multipliers. A direct integration method using the Cartesian coordinates and velocities as the state variable of integration, together with a forth-order Rui e-Kuta with an adjustable step size were employed.

Oyama et al have calculated bond conformation probabilities for the PM chain by a direct integration method. They adopted the formulation prescribed by Saito. According to this scheme. 

H A sufficient number of modes shall be used to ensure participation of all significant modes, if the modal analysis approach is used. The number of modes is sufficient if at least one rigid frequency mode (at or above 33 cps) is included. Justify the integration time steps used if the analysis is based on time history direct integration method.

Use either modal superposition of three components of earthquake motion or direct integration approach for time history analysis. The integration time step shall be justified if the time history direct integration method of analysis is used.
