Substructuring is a model order reduction technique that accelerates the finite element
method in solid mechanics. In this improved hybrid substructuring approach, methods from …

Abstract The Monte Carlo method is computationally expensive. Especially for reliable
response statistics in the tail region, a large number of samples has to be computed. In this …

During strong earthquakes, structural pounding may occur between structures (buildings,
bridges, strategic facilities, critical equipment, etc.) and the surrounding moat wall because …

In this contribution, we present a space-time formulation of the Newmark integration scheme
for linear damped structures under both harmonic and transient excitations. The incremental …

The evaluation of structural response constitutes a fundamental task in the design of ground-
excited structures. In this context, the Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool to estimate …

The evaluation of the structural response statistics constitutes one of the principal tasks in
engineering. However, in the tail region near structural failure, engineering structures …

In solid mechanics, the vast majority of numerical computations use the Finite Element
Method (FEM). The FEM allows the assembly of large complex structures from generic …

State‐of‐the‐art pounding formulations do not consider eventual damage‐induced changes
regarding the collision description during an excitation time history. In particular, in case of …

A major cause of local to total damages is related to structural pounding in a large number of
past earthquakes. In general, these collisions take place as a result of differences in the …

In this paper, we present a new strategy that enables a quick dynamic assessment of
damage caused by structural pounding. Applying a visco-elastoplastic pounding …
