In the case of ignoring the structural damping, the conserv- ing or decaying total energy of structure and the controllable numerical damping for high frequency responses can ensure the numerical stability of the algorithm. The inertial parts are linearly interpolated directly in the fixed global coordinate system by using the element nodal displacement in the global coordinate system for obtaining the constant mass matrix, while the elastic parts adopt the corotational formulation. Hence, the whole formulation obtained in this paper is element independent. Through three typical numerical examples, the performances of the algorithm in this paper were compared with those of the classical Newmak and HHT-a algorithms to indicate that the algorithm in this paper could accurately solve nonlinear dynamic respons- es of thin shells with large displacements and large rotations.展开更多
