Theory of Nonlinear Structural Analysis: The Force Analogy Method for Earthquake Engineering
Conventional methods for calculating the nonlinear behavior of civil engineering structures use the analysis procedure of changing the structural member stiffness, while structural dynamics is incorporated into the procedure through implicit time integration of the varying stiffness matrices. Examples of these conventional methods include the Wilson-ẞ and Newmark-B methods. In these conventional methods, the major problem is that significant iterative computations in updating the time-varying stiffness matrices have to be performed to ensure numerical convergence once the structure experiences yielding and nonlinear deformation. As a result, the iterative operation is time consuming and the entire dynamic analysis process becomes practically uneconomical. By using the force analogy method, on the other hand, the state-transition matrix needs to be computed only once due to the constant use of the initial stiffness of the structure, and this greatly simplifies the overall computation and makes the nonlinear analysis readily available for solving various practical problems.
