More Versatility for an Integration-Step-Size-Enlargement Technique in Time Integration Analysis


Abstract eng:
A recent technique materializes time integration with steps larger than the steps by which the excitations are digitized. The ratio of integration steps to the digitization steps need to be an integer. By considering linear changes for excitations, between the excitation stations, this paper introduces a generalization, such that the technique becomes applicable when the above ratio can be stated, as a rational number, with a numerator arbitrary greater than the denominator. With a negligble additional computational cost, the proposed generalization entails more efficiency, and, hence, is beneficial in practical time history analysis of structural systems againt strong motions.
