The generalized- method provides second order accuracy with controllable algorithmic damping on high frequency response.
Two forms are available.
The generalized alpha method assumes that the displacement and the velocity are integrated as such,
which can also be explicitly shown as
To obtain an unconditionally stable algorithm, the following conditions shall be satisfied.
The following expressions are used to determine the values of all constants used.
So that the resulting algorithm is unconditionally stable and has a second order accuracy. The target numerical damping for high frequencies is achieved while that of low frequencies is minimized.
Some special parameters can be chosen.
