Transient Analysis of Structural Members by the CSDT Riccati Transfer Matrix Method.

Abstract

A method for direct integration of the dynamic governing partial differential equations of motion for structural members is presented. This technique is called the continuous space discrete time (CSDT) Riccati transfer matrix method. Numerical results for bar and beam example problems indicate that the method is numerically stable and accurate for calculating the dynamic response of linear structural members.
