iteration matrix which relates the velocities and displacements at step n+ 1 to those at step n, the expression for the<br />
damping parameter, 6, is found to be<br />
s = 1- (4cooml)/ ((OO+CO])2 . (3.7.6)<br />
The allowable range on 6 is (O,1). A stability analysis on this set <strong>of</strong> explicit equations produces a critical<br />
pseudo-time<br />
step given by<br />
ATC=2/@o+col)@ . (3.7.7)<br />
If the problem is linear so O. and 01 are fixed, then the number <strong>of</strong> time steps, N, required to reduce the<br />
vibration amplitude by a factor <strong>of</strong>ten is<br />
N= 1.15 (co1/coo). (3.7.8)<br />
From this equation,<br />
it is seen that any effort to reduce the ratio o 110)0speeds convergence.<br />
From the linear problem and a uniform mesh <strong>of</strong> dimension Ax, the maximum frequency Q 1 is given by<br />
C01=2CIAX=21AT . (3.7.9)<br />
In this expression, c is the dilatational wave speed given by<br />
c=(k+2p)/r (3.7.10)<br />
and r is the pseudo-density used for the computation <strong>of</strong> the fictitious mass. If we substitute the quantity 2/A~ fom 1<br />
and remember that 01>> coo, then the expression for the damping parameter becomes<br />
8=1-200AT . (3.7.11)<br />
The fimdamental ilequency O. is continuously estimated using an approximate value found using the Rayleigh<br />
Quotient. At each iteration i in the dynamic relaxation scheme, a new estimate (~o)i is computed as<br />
“o,=-<br />
(3.7.12)<br />
‘ where K is a diagonal stiffness matrix whose jti component is computed from<br />
f.jmT – f;-yT<br />
K.i=l<br />
(3.7.13)<br />
ATU:-l “<br />
With each estimate <strong>of</strong> the fundamental frequency, a new value <strong>of</strong> the damping is computed. This has the virtue<br />
that the lowest active mode will be found in the event that the fimdamental mode is not participating (Underwood,<br />
1983).<br />
