# Midas FEA Linear Dynamics and Buckling Analyses
|
|
|
|
## Definition
|
|
|
|
Midas FEA linear dynamics and buckling analyses are the manual's linear static, modal, time history, response spectrum, and eigenvalue buckling procedure family.
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
Linear static analysis solves the assembled stiffness equation with loads, boundary conditions, coordinate transformations, and singularity checks. The manual also warns that nonlinear member cases such as tension-only or compression-only links use internal iteration, so their results should not be combined as if they were purely linear load cases.
|
|
|
|
Modal analysis solves `K phi = lambda M phi` and reports mode shapes, participation factors, effective modal mass, and modal direction factors. Lanczos and subspace methods are described, including shift-invert ideas, rigid-mode handling, and Sturm sequence checks for missed eigenvalues.
|
|
|
|
Time history analysis is organized through mode superposition and direct integration, with damping models such as Rayleigh damping and modal damping. The manual gives a practical time-step accuracy rule: choose a step small enough relative to the highest mode of interest and the load time interval.
|
|
|
|
Response spectrum analysis approximates a multi-degree-of-freedom response through modal single-degree-of-freedom spectra and modal combination rules such as ABS, SRSS, and CQC. Linear buckling analysis forms a geometric stiffness contribution from a pre-buckling stress or internal force state and solves an eigenvalue problem for critical load factors and modes.
