In computational structural dynamics, particularly in the presence of nonsmooth behavior,
the choice of the time-step and the time integrator has a critical impact on the feasibility of …

Computational structural dynamics plays an essential role in the simulation of linear and
nonlinear systems. Indeed, the characteristics of the time integration procedure have a …

This paper proposes a high-efficient decoupling method with energy conservation property
to solve a coupling system with multiple subdomains and time steps using arbitrary …

A partitioned/combined computational method based on Newmark scheme is proposed to
analyze dynamic systems with different temporal scales and element scales. To effectively …

The purpose of this paper is to describe a general methodology to obtain multi-time step
coupling methods for different time-integration schemes (Newmark, HHT-α, WBZ-α, CH-α) …

Abstract A Mesh Superposition Technique (MST) for the progressive transition between
differently-discretized subdomains is proposed and implemented in an FE code. The …

Peridynamics (PD), as a nonlocal theory, is well-suited for solving problems with
discontinuities, such as cracks. However, the nonlocal effect of peridynamics makes it …

This paper focuses on the evaluation of bi-axial shear demand for reinforced concrete (RC)
beam–column joints assuming:(i) the SPEAR frame as a benchmark; and (ii) different …

External coupling software based on the coupling algorithm proposed by Prakash and
Hjelmstad (PH method) is compared to the previous external coupling software based on the …

Co-simulation strategies using both Abaqus/Explicit and Abaqus/Implicit are investigated for
analysing wave propagation in two-dimensional unbounded soil domain. The co-simulation …
