Abstract
AbstractA superelement algorithm for the transient dynamic analysis of structural systems is presented. The method represents a generalization of existing static and dynamic superelement (substructure) algorithms. Natural frequencies and modal shapes of a fixed boundary substructure are used to obtain equations of motion of a superelement. An implicit time‐stepping algorithm is presented for the numerical solution of a resulting superelement system of equations of motion. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the presented approach. The method is believed to be effective for large‐scale problems of structural analysis.
