| Abstract: | In this paper we present two error estimators resp. indicators for the time integration in structural dynamics. Based on the equivalence between the standard Newmark scheme and a Galerkin formulation in time [1] for linear problems a global time integration error estimator based on duality [3] can also be derived for the Newmark scheme. This error estimator is compared to an error indicator based on a finite difference approach in time [2]. Finally an adaptive time stepping scheme using the global estimator and the local indicator is presented. (© 2004 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
