A corrective smoothed particle method for transient elastoplastic dynamics

Abstract

An incremental approach is presented to model transient, elastoplastic dynamic problems using the corrective smoothed particle method. It uses the corrective first- and second-derivative approximations to solve the nonlinear momentum equations, which is described in terms of displacement increments entirely. This algorithm not only satisfies the nodal completeness condition but also exhibits no integrablity problem. Several 2D examples, including forced vibration, stress wave propagation, and rigid wall impact, are investigated to demonstrate the numerical stability and accuracy of the proposed method.
