Abstract :
[en] Explicit numerical schemes are used to integrate in time finite element discretization methods. Unfortunately, these numerical approaches can induce high-frequency numerical oscillations into the solution. To eliminate or to reduce these oscillations, numerical dissipation can be introduced. The paper deals with the comparison of three different explicit schemes: the central difference scheme which is a nondissipative method, the Hulbert Chung dissipative explicit scheme and the Tchamwa-Wielgosz dissipative scheme. Particular attention is paid to the study of these algorithms’ behavior in problems involving high-velocity impacts like Taylor anvil impact and bullet-target interactions. It has been shown that Tchamwa-Wielgosz scheme is efficient in filtering the high-frequency oscillations and is more dissipative than Hulbert Chung explicit scheme. Although its convergence rate is only first order, the loss of accuracy remains limited to acceptable values.
