In this paper, the Wilson-9 integration method is thoroughly studied. By using Wilson-9 integration
method and single particle shear model, the dynamic response of brick-concrete structure is given.
The simulation results of dynamic response of brick-concrete structure under sine wave load are
compared with analytical results. From this study, it demonstrated that the present approach of
combining Wilson-9 integration method and single particle shear model method is a useful
technique in the dynamic and vibration analysis of brick-concrete structure. Furthermore, by
optimizing and selecting suitable parameters of Wilson-9 method, this approach also can be used to
analyze the seismic dynamic response analysis of the brick-concrete structure.
1 Introduction
There are many dynamical problems in engineering application that cannot be solved by
analytical method of mathematics, such as, building response under complex earthquake
wave loading[l]. In this case, numerical method, such as step integral, is needed. As a
consequence, the problem of precision and stability emerges. In this paper the precision
and stability of Wilson-9 method, which is used to study dynamic response of building
under a sine wave loading, was studied.

where x and x are horizontal displacement and acceleration of particle relative to the
earth. According to the hypothesis of the linear linear acceleration method, a linear
variation of acceleration x from time t to time t + At is assumed. Let T denote the
increase in time, where 0 < T < At; then for the time interval t to t + At, it is assume
that
x^=xt+T(xt+At-xt)/At (2)
The Wilson 0 method is essentially an extension of the linear acceleration method, in
which the acceleration is assumed to be linear from time t to t + OAt ,where 0 > 1.0.

Let T denote the increase in time, where 0 < T < OAt; therefore, the acceleration of
particle can be expressed at the time t + T

3 Simulations
By using Wilson-9 method (Eq. 4) and also analytical method ( Eq. 7), the numerical
results of dynamic response of a single freedom system, are showed below. Moreover,
the comparisons of errors between the two methods are given. The parameters of the
model were selected as: m = 20kg , k = 1000N Im , xg= Bsinox , B = 0.25m/s 2 ,
CO = Inf , f = 0.2 Hz. A comparison between the beginning and the end of a
calculation with 9=2 and total integral time =15 seconds is showed in Fig 2. It could be
seen that the errors increased when the integral was lasting several seconds, at the
beginning of the simulation the two curves were very close (Fig 2a) and at the end of the

4 Stability of Wilson-0
In most cases, an earthquake persists about 60 seconds, therefore the stability of Wilson-
9 method is only needed to be checked in this period for this class of problems. From the
simulation results, the optimized selection of parameter of Wilson-9 method is
6 = 0.79 and At < 0.004 . The result of simulation is expressed in table 1 and Fig 8
in the case of 9 = 0.79; At = 0.004 and total integral time = 60 seconds. The errors
between Wilson-9 method and analytical method are very small even if the integral time
reaches to 60 seconds. The maximum average relative error of acceleration is 0.0120%,
the errors of velocity and displacement are more smaller (Table 1). The two curves of
response of acceleration are almost same (Fig 8).

5 Conclusions
A numerical analysis of Wilson-9 method is unconditional stability to use 0 > 1.37, but
in some cases it is not the optimized choice. In this paper it is obvious that the choice of
9 and increment is very important to reduce error. For example, if 9=0.79 and
increment=0.004 are chosen and the simulation reaches 60 seconds, the average relative
error of acceleration is only 0.012%, whereas the total integral step is 15000 steps. It is
possible that error will be small even if the integral time is longer.
(1) Wilson-9 method is adopted that 9 is better to be chosen as 0.79 and the result of
simulation is more accurate when the integral time is not more then 60 seconds.
(2) The integral increment of Wilson-9 method is better to less than 0.004 second.
(3) For seismic analysis, it is stable when 9=0.79 and At < 0.004 by using Wilson-9
method.
