Fully explicit numerical scheme for linearized wave propagation in nearly-incompressible soft hyperelastic solids
Preprint
Abstract
The numerical approximation of wave propagation problems in nearly or pure incompressible solids faces several challenges such as locking and stability constraints. In this work we propose a stabilized Leapfrog scheme based on the use of Chebyshev polynomials to relax the stability condition, which is strongly limited by the enforcement of incompressibility. The scheme is fully explicit, second order accurate and energy-preserving. For the space discretization we use a mixed formulation with high-order spectral elements and mass-lumping. A strategy is proposed for an efficient and accurate computation of the pressure contribution with a new definition of the discrete Grad-div operator. Finally, we consider linear wave propagation problems in nearly-incompressible hyperelastic solids subject to static preload.Keywords
