Abstract

There exist various methods for solving the dynamic analysis problem in earthquake engineering. While numerical integration techniques are conventionally classified as either explicit or implicit approaches, both categories suffer from fundamental constraints that compromise their general effectiveness. A type of model-based integration algorithm combines explicit and implicit algorithm advantages, making it a hot topic in research. Based on the generalized-α algorithms, this study proposes a model-based integration algorithm by embedding upon Newton iteration to make its displacement solution in explicit form. The root locus method was employed to analyze the stability of the algorithm for single-degree-of-freedom systems containing nonlinear restoring force. Two models were selected to verify the algorithm’s accuracy and stability: three-storey and eight-storey shear-type structural systems with metal dampers. The proposed algorithm, Chang method, and CR method were utilized for the dynamic analysis of the emulated systems. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm has high accuracy and favorable stability for nonlinear dynamic problems.
