Hilbert-Hughes-Taylor Method

This command is used to construct a TransientIntegrator object of type HHT or HHT1.

integrator HHT $gamma <$alphaM $betaK $betaKinit $betaKcomm>

$gamma

Newmark parameter ?

$alphaM $betaK $betaKinit $betaKcomm

Arguments to define Rayleigh damping matrix (optional, default: zero)

The damping matrix D is specified as a combination of stiffness and mass-proportional damping matrices:

D = $alphaM * M + $betaK * Kcurrent +$betaKinit * Kinit + $betaKcomm * KlastCommit

The mass and stiffness matrices are defined as:

M

mass matrix

Kcurrent

stiffness matrix at current state determination

Kinit

stiffness matrix at initial state determination

KlastCommit

stiffness matrix at last-committed state determination
