A dual-modified implicit time integration method for three-dimensional impact modelling within the framework of the SBFEM

Abstract

This paper presents a dual-modified implicit time integration method (DMITIM) for three-dimensional impact modelling within the framework of the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM). Controlled by a single parameter, this method effectively dissipates high-frequency responses in impact problems without affecting low-frequency responses, ensuring time integration stability. To address the issue of false oscillations during impacts, additional Lagrange multipliers are introduced to supplement the velocity and acceleration corrections at each time integration step. For nonmatching meshes, by leveraging the mesh flexibility of the SBFEM, a rapid and straightforward remeshing method is utilized to establish a node-to-node contact scheme. The numerical results demonstrate that the DMITIM significantly reduces false oscillations in the velocity and contact force during impact events. It also showcases the flexibility of the SBFEM in handling nonmatching meshes. The combination of the SBFEM with the DMITIM provides enhanced simulation accuracy and stability for impact problems compared to the results from ABAQUS using the HHT-α time integration algorithm.
