Abstract :
[en] The aim of this paper is to compare several domain decomposition schemes for nonlinear, coupled electromechanical problems. Both staggered and monolithic electrostatic/elastic formulations are combined with an overlapping domain decomposition method applied either to the uncoupled, linear staggered resolutions or to the monolithic nonlinear system. The influence of the elastic waves frequency, of the electrostatic potential and of the mesh on the convergence rate is investigated on a simple 2D model of a vibrating micromembrane array.
