2.1. Calculation method used for the reference solution#

The search for the transitory answer to this problem with non-proportional damping, and where rigid modes are not fixed, can be carried out by numerical integration in real space:

.

To do this, the response was calculated using two industrial codes:

  • PERMAS:

Newmark integration diagram (\(\alpha =\mathrm{0,25}\), \(\delta =\mathrm{0,5}\)), \(\Delta t={10}^{-\mathrm{4s}}\),

Integration diagram with Hermite cubic interpolation [bib1], \(\Delta t={10}^{-\mathrm{4s}}\),

  • ABAQUS:

Hilber-Hughes-Taylor integration diagram [bib2] (\(\alpha =-\mathrm{0,05}\)), \(\Delta t={10}^{-\mathrm{4s}}\),

and the improved \(\beta\) -Newmark integration method [bib3]:

where \(n\), \(n+1\), \(n+2\) respectively designate the calculations performed at times \({t}_{n}\), \({t}_{n+1}={t}_{n}+\Delta t\) and \({t}_{n+2}={t}_{n}+2\Delta t\) where \(\Delta t\) is the time increment used.

To start, we take:

  • _images/Object_7.svg

The adopted time step is \(\Delta t={10}^{-\mathrm{5s}}\).

2.2. Benchmark results#

Displacement, speed and acceleration of point \({P}_{3}\).

Displacement differential between points \({P}_{3}\) and \({P}_{1}\).

2.3. Uncertainty about the solution#
