The invention discloses an FE-VFIFE
hybrid calculation method for nonlinear dynamic analysis of a complex structure, which is suitable for the fields of
seismic engineering, ocean
engineering and the like which require real-time
simulation and analysis of the complex structure, the FE and the VFIFE are combined, dimension reduction of each linear
substructure is realized through a
modal superposition method in a conventional finite element, and the nonlinear dynamic analysis of the complex structure is realized. The whole
system is decoupled into a series of
modal equations, and the calculation amount is reduced; vector type finite elements are used for calculating the internal force of the nonlinear part, the situation that a global
stiffness matrix is repeatedly updated in the calculation process is avoided, meanwhile, a Chang method is adopted for unconditional stable integration, and
mass and damping correction factors are introduced to improve the calculation precision, increase the integration step length and improve the calculation efficiency. The method can be efficiently applied to real-time
hybrid simulation of the local nonlinear problem of a complex
structure system, and powerful support is provided for performance evaluation and design optimization of the complex structure under the action of complex dynamic loads such as earthquakes and marine environments.
