Renovation Explicit Dynamic Procedures By Application Of Trujillo Algorithm, Hilmi Mahmud Jan 2011

Renovation Explicit Dynamic Procedures By Application Of Trujillo Algorithm, Hilmi Mahmud

Hilmi Mahmud

In this paper, a Trujillo algorithm method for the exact solution of nonlinear explicit dynamic problems is developed. This method associates numerical techniques and it is applied to determine the natural frequencies of structures. The numerical predictions of the natural frequency are compared to analytical and experimental results. There was no direct method available for solving such a problem efficiently in the case of explicit dynamic analysis. The Trujillo algorithm is an indirect method and the approach is based upon the principle of conservation of energy. It is believed that the proposed method provides a powerful engineering tool in the …


Mathematical Modeling For Analysis Cable Structures, Hilmi Mahmud Jan 2011

Mathematical Modeling For Analysis Cable Structures, Hilmi Mahmud

Hilmi Mahmud

The cable structures are long tension structures. The main aim of this paper is to provide a new efficient method in all aspects of analysis of tension structures. Tension structures belong to high-nonlinearity structures. The approach of the proposed method is based on the principle of conservation of energy. In this paper a theory for nonlinear dynamics response analysis of tension structure is based on the minimization of the total potential dynamic work developed. © 2011 Academic Journals.
