NONLINEAR DYNAMIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS USING CONJUGATE GRADIENTS

This paper gives a method for calculating the dynamic response of pre-tensioned cable structures as well as pinjointed structural assemblies in general. The theory presented allows for nonlinearity and is based upon minimization of the change in the total dynamic work within a given time increment using the method of conjugate gradients. A numerical example showing the use of the method is given. (Author/TRRL)
