Abstract

Summary This paper tries to accelerate the convergence rate of the general viscous dynamic relaxation method. For this purpose, a new automated procedure for estimating the critical damping factor is developed by employing a simple variant of the Lanczos algorithm, which does not require any re-orthogonalization process. All of the computational operations are performed by simple vector–matrix multiplication without requiring any matrix factorization or inversion. Some numerical examples with geometric nonlinear behavior are analyzed by the proposed algorithm. Results show that the suggested procedure could effectively decrease the total number of convergence iterations compared with the conventional dynamic relaxation algorithms.
