Abstract: | A method for reducing the size of finite element systems in dynamics is presented. The technique is based upon a variational theorem in which it is admissible to describe the inertial properties of structures by way of independent displacement, velocity and momentum fields. This theorem allows us to construct reduced systems for problems in structural mechanics which retain the full rate of convergence of systems employing “consistent” mass matrices. An error analysis of the scheme and numerical examples are presented. |
