Characterizing acceleration spikes due to stiffness changes in nonlinear systems.

Recent studies have reported very large accelerations after stiffness changes in nonlinear systems, particularly self-centering systems. Some have attributed these accelerations to numerical modelling choices and have assumed that they could be eliminated if the modelling were refined. Others have c...
