Abstract

Based on positional finite element method (FEM), a new, simple and accurate lumped mass matrix to solve dynamic geometrical nonlinear problems of materials applied to variable cross-section beam element has been proposed. According to Hamilton theory and the concept of Kinetic energy, concentrate the beam element mass to the two nodes in certain proportion, the lumped mass matrix is deduced. The lumped mass matrix is diagonal matrix and its calculated quantity is less than using consistent mass matrix about properties of materials under the same calculation precision.
