This work shows the design of one-dimensional periodic structures composed by inelastic materials. These structures are composed by multilayer unit cells with different materials (linear and non-linear). In this work, we design three types of unit cells. Newmark scheme for integration and finite element method for space discretization are used in the algorithms. The unit cell design proposed in this work can be extended to multidimensional problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
