Selective mass scaling for explicit finite element analyses

Abstract: SUMMARYDue to their inherent lack of convergence problems explicit finite element techniques are widely used for analysing non-linear mechanical processes. In many such processes the energy content in the high frequency domain is small. By focusing an artificial mass scaling on this domain, the critical time step may be increased substantially without significantly affecting the low frequency behaviour. This is what we refer to as selective mass scaling. Two methods for selective mass scaling are introduced in… Show more

“…Selective mass scaling was proposed by group of Lars Olovsson [8,10] and it aimed increasing of stable time-step for explicit integration of solid-based shells and eight-node hexahedral elements. In combination with an iterative solver for acceleration (see [9]) it proved to be efficient for some applications such as deep drawing of metal sheets and drop tests [3], dynamics of solid-shell modeled structures [4].…”

“…The basic idea is to modify the solid-shell element mass matrix, artificially scaling down the highest structural eigenfrequencies, without significantly altering the lowest ones. A mass scaling rigorously satisfying this requirement can be obtained by summing to the mass matrix the stiffness matrix multiplied by a scaling parameter (Macek and Aubert (1995), Olovsson et al (2005)). This solution does not alter the lowest eigenfrequencies, but it is computationally burdensome, since the diagonal structure of the mass matrix is lost.…”
