Análise dinâmica elasto-plástica de transiente de curta duração incluindo os efeitos da interação solo-fluido-estrutura

Abstract

The finite element method is employed in the prediction of the dynamic transient response of structures systems exhibiting material non-linearity. The central difference explicit time marching schem is adopted for integration of the dynamic equilibrium equation and a diagonal lumped mass matrix is employed with a special procedure applicable to variable nodal points quadrilateral isoparametric elements. The effects of soil-structure interaction are considered and a special fluid element is appreciated. Several problems are presented and conclusions are discussed.
