Comparison of Improved Explicit Method and Predictor Correct α-Method
Dynamic application lower mode response is of interest, however the higher modes of spatially discretized equations generally do not represent the real behavior. Some implicit algorithms, therefore, are introduced to filter out the high-frequency modes. The objective of this study is to introduce the P-method and PC α-method to compare that with dissipation method and Newmark method through the stability analysis and numerical example. PC α-method gives more accuracy than other methods because it based on the α-method inherits the superior properties of the implicit α -method. In finite element analysis, the PC α-method is more useful than other methods because it is the explicit scheme and it achieve the second order accuracy and numerical damping simultaneously.
