Hybrid TFETI domain decomposition for solving huge 3D multibody contact problems
摘要
We adopt the three-level hybrid domain decomposition TFETI method for solving 3D multibody frictionless contact problems. We decompose the bodies into subdomains, then partly interconnect the subdomains into clusters by the rigid body modes of the interiors of adjacent faces, and finally generate constraints enforcing the classical boundary and contact conditions. After switching to the discretized dual problem, we get the quadratic programming problem in Lagrange multipliers with bound and equality constraints and a well-conditioned Hessian that specialized solvers can solve with asymptotically linear complexity. If m is the number of subdomains in a cluster in one direction, then the cost of the coarse problem decreases with
