Abstract

Force analogy method is a kind of nonlinear dynamic analysis method. Analyzing inelastic structural behavior by using plastic hinge theory, it is widely appropriate to many structures with different material properties and very time efficient and numerically accurate without complicated iterative computations in traditional algorithm. Compared with the traditional finite-element analysis method, dynamic response analysis based on force analogy method has obvious advantages. The application of force analogy method to a steel structure is presented and the analysis result shows that the method algorithm can represent each response state of the structure in real-time and has the very good accuracy and practical.
