“…Other work focused on applying these algorithms to specific finite element formulations (beam and shell elements) [41,42,15,48] and multi-body systems [7,10,28]. Despite the achievement of unconditional stability, the energy conserving schemes still show difficulties for numerically stiff nonlinear problems [7, 1,2], and especially for snap-through buckling problems [31,32]. The energy conserving schemes fail to converge in the post-snap range with an acceptable time step, due to the lack of numerical dissipation for spurious high-frequency oscillations.…”
