Newmark

Hi,
Concerning the Newmark method with central difference for an explicit resolution I want to know where the parameters beta and gamma come from ?

I have found this :

but how do these parameters appear ?

Using RADIOSS, the theory manual says the remainder of the taylor's series is computed using numerical integration but I don't know which rule is used.

Hi ,

 I'm working on simulation of wave propagation in a bar. I'm using
newmark time integration scheme to solve my problem. I have a bae
clamped at one end and under tensile at the other end. when I decrease
my time step ,at the beginning of the loading I see tiny negative
strains which is so weird. I used some numerical damping with the scheme
and I could reduce the time step but still I have this problem in
smaller time steps. Can anyone help me with this?

  Thank you very much!!!
