A Lagrangian Approach to Dynamic Interfaces through Kinetic Triangulation of the Ambient Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a robust and efficient Lagrangian approach for modeling dynamic interfaces between different materials undergoing large deformations and topology changes, in two dimensions. Our work brings an interesting alternative to popular techniques such as the level set method and the particle level set method, for two-dimensional and axisymmetric simulations. The principle of our approach is to maintain a two-dimensional triangulation which embeds the one-dimensional polygonal description of the interfaces. Topology changes can then be detected as inversions of the faces of this triangulation. Each triangular face is labeled with the type of material it contains. The connectivity of the triangulation and the labels of the faces are updated consistently during deformation, within a neat framework developed in computational geometry: kinetic data structures. Thanks to the exact computation paradigm, the reliability of our algorithm, even in difficult situations such as shocks and topology changes, can be certified. We demonstrate the applicability and the efficiency of our approach with a series of numerical experiments in two dimensions. Finally, we discuss the feasibility of an extension to three dimensions.

Dynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages
A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...

This paper deals with the implementation of an efficient Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation for the three dimensional finite element modeling of mode I self-similar dynamic fracture process. Contrary to the remeshing technique, the presented algorithm can continuously advance the crack with the one mesh topology. The uncoupled approach is employed to treat the equations. So, each t...
