Newmark-Beta Method - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The Newmark-beta method is a numerical integration method used to solve differential equations, especially for modeling dynamic systems in finite element analysis. It was developed by Nathan Newmark in 1959 for use in structural dynamics. The method uses Taylor's theorem and the intermediate value theorem to determine displacement and velocity updates over time using parameters beta and gamma.

Newmark-beta method
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Newmark-beta method is a method of numerical integration used to solve differential equations. It is
widely used in numerical evaluation of the dynamic response of structures and solids such as in finite element
analysis to model dynamic systems. The method is named after Nathan M. Newmark,[1] former Professor of
Civil Engineering at the University of Illinois, who developed it in 1959 for use in structural dynamics.
Using Taylor's theorem with Lagrange remainder, along with the intermediate value theorem, the Newmark-
method states that the first time derivative (velocity in the equation of motion) can be solved as,

where

therefore

Because acceleration also varies with time, however, those two theorems must also be applied to the second
time derivative to obtain the correct displacement. Thus,

where again

Newmark showed that a reasonable value of

is 0.5, therefore the update rules are,

Setting to various values between 0 and 1 can give a wide range of results. Typically = 1/4, which yields the
constant average acceleration method, is used.
