Recursive block-by-block integral equation solution for transient dynamic analysis with memory-type elements.

An efficient method of computing structural response of multi-story nonlinear base isolated buildings for a given seismic event is presented. Using a recursive block-by-block convolution (RBBIEF) solution to the governing nonlinear Volterra integral equation, structural base motion acting through an...
