A Neumann--Neumann Domain Decomposition Algorithm for Solving Plate and Shell Problems

چکیده
We present a new Neumann–Neumann-type preconditioner of large scale linear systems arising from plate and shell problems. The advantage of the new method is a smaller coarse space than those of earlier methods of the authors; this improves parallel scalability. A new abstract framework for Neumann–Neumann preconditioners is used to prove almost optimal convergence properties of the method. The convergence estimates are independent of the number of subdomains, coefficient jumps between subdomains, and depend only polylogarithmically on the number of elements per subdomain. We formulate and prove an approximate parametric variational principle for Reissner–Mindlin elements as the plate thickness approaches zero, which makes the results applicable to a large class of nonlocking elements in everyday engineering use. The theoretical results are confirmed by computational experiments on model problems as well as examples from real world engineering practice.

A Boundary Meshless Method for Neumann Problem
Boundary integral equations (BIE) are reformulations of boundary value problems for partial differential equations. There is a plethora of research on numerical methods for all types of these equations such as solving by discretization which includes numerical integration. In this paper, the Neumann problem is reformulated to a BIE, and then moving least squares as a meshless method is describe...
متن کاملDomain decomposition method for contact problems with small range contact
A non-overlapping domain decomposition algorithm of Neumann–Neumann type for solving variational inequalities arising from the elliptic boundary value problems in two dimensions with unilateral boundary condition is presented. We suppose that boundary with inequality condition is ‘relatively’ small. First, the linear auxiliary problem, where the inequality condition is replaced by the equality ...
متن کاملSymbolic preconditioning techniques for linear systems of partial differential equations
Some algorithmic aspects of systems of PDEs based simulations can be better clarified by means of symbolic computation techniques. This is very important since numerical simulations heavily rely on solving systems of PDEs. For the large-scale problems we deal with in today’s standard applications, it is necessary to rely on iterative Krylov methods that are scalable (i.e., weakly dependent on t...
متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimates for a Neumann-neumann Domain Decomposition Algorithm Applied to Contact Problems
Contact problems are frequent in structural analysis. They are characterized by inequality constraints such as non-interpenetration conditions, sign condition on the normal constraints, and an active contact, an area that is a priori unknown. Several approaches exist for solving the non linear equations issued from the finite element discretization of frictionless contact problems. In this work...
متن کاملSchwarz Methods of Neumann-neumann Type for Three-dimensional Elliptic Finite Element Problems
Several domain decomposition methods of Neumann-Neumann type are considered for solving the large linear systems of algebraic equations that arise from discretizations of elliptic problems by nite elements. We will only consider problems in three dimensions. Several new variants of the basic algorithm are introduced in a Schwarz method framework that provides tools which have already proven ver...
