A gap element for treating non-matching discrete interfaces

Abstract: A family of gap elements are developed for treating non-matching interfaces occurring in partitioned analysis of mechanical systems. The proposed gap elements preserve linear and angular momentum and can be specialized to equivalent dual mortar methods, if desired. The proposed gap elements continue to be applicable when the interface gaps disappear, i.e., for flat interface surfaces and are free of energy injection or dissipation. Two dimensional numerical examples are offered to illustrate the basic features… Show more

“…In the literature, formulation (26) is sometimes called the localized Lagrange multipliers based formulation (we abbreviate this as LLM), where the term 'localized' is used to associate the multipliers λ C , λ L and u with the corresponding sub-domains, see e.g. [55][56][57]. Table 2 briefly summarizes the considered formulations.…”

“…A simple nonmatching interface problem between two substructures is described in Figure 2. Through the interface compatibility conditions and total potential energy equation in the nonmatching problem, 13,14 the equations of motion can be written as d2dt2M+Kx=f, d2dt2M+K=d2dt2boldMs+boldKsboldBbold0boldBTbold0prefix−boldLfbold0prefix−boldLfTbold0,x=boldusbold-italicλboldub,f=boldfsbold0bold0, where L f is the assembly Boolean matrix for the nonmatching interface. To obtain the assembly Boolean matrix L f , we first consider the interface compatibility conditions.…”

“…Unlike the dual CB method, the localized Lagrange multipliers were utilized in the F‐CMS method. It provides unique independent interface constraints to prevent rank deficiency including the corner edge assemble case 10‐12 and easy interface treatments of non‐matching mesh problems may be available to satisfy the displacement compatibility and the force equilibrium conditions 13,14 . The F‐CMS method is also suitable for parallel algorithm such as the FE tearing and interconnect (FETI) method like the dual CB method 15,16 .…”

“…To formulate the coupling of different levels within Global-Local scheme, a single Lagrange multiplier method leads to redundant interface conditions in the case of many local domains (i.e., over-constrained condition for more than two domains, thus leads to the linear dependency of the imposed constraints), see for instance [70] and references therein. Therefore, inconsistency conditions due to the over-constrained interface displacement continuity appears and this leads to the non-unique solutions [71,70,29,80]. But this is not the case for the localized Lagrange multiplier (LLM) approach which provides no redundancy for the interface conditions and leads to unique and stable solutions [70].…”

“…This issue has been extensively studied in the context of the mortar methods [75,38,78]. In contrast, LLM through the introduction of an intermediate surface on which both displacements and forces are introduced as added variables thus offering a regularization of stiffness mismatch issues [80]. This is achieved by enforcing an additional weak from to our system of equations that are designed to satisfy both the displacement compatibility condition and force equilibrium conditions [80].…”
