Convergence of iterative methods for nonclassically damped dynamic systems (Q1320121): Difference between revisions

Dynamic structural systems modeled by linear second order differential equations of motion are considered. The damping matrix is assumed to be a real general matrix (nonclassical damping) and therefore cannot be simultaneously diagonalized with mass matrix and the stiffness matrix. Two iterative schemes for determining the system response are presented. A rigorous convergence analysis is given. The methods are illustrated by three numerical examples.
