Time history analysis for structures subjected to dynamic loads including seismic and random excitations, implemented using the Newmark method with code implementation for numerical integration.

Detailed Documentation

This paper examines time history analysis of structures under dynamic loading conditions. The applied loads can represent seismic excitations or random dynamic forces. For this analysis, we employ the Newmark method, a widely-used numerical integration technique for solving second-order ordinary differential equations. The algorithm operates through predictor-corrector steps with parameters controlling numerical stability and accuracy. Implementation typically involves mass, damping, and stiffness matrix formulations with time-stepping loops for displacement and velocity updates. By applying the Newmark method, we can accurately simulate structural responses under dynamic loading, providing critical insights for designing safer structures through computational modeling of force-displacement relationships and energy dissipation mechanisms.
