A new computational method for transient dynamics including the low‐ and the medium‐frequency ranges

This paper deals with a new computational method for transient dynamic analysis which enables one to cover both the low- and medium-frequency ranges. This is a frequency approach in which the low-frequency part is obtained through a classical technique while the medium-frequency part is handled through the Variational Theory of Complex Rays (VTCR) initially introduced for vibrations. Preliminary examples are shown.
