Abstract

We present an h-adaptive version of the spacetime-discontinuous Galerkin (SDG) finite element method for linearized elastodynamics (Abedi et al., 2006). The adaptive version inherits key properties of the basic SDG formulation, including element-wise balance of linear and angular momentum, complexity that is linear in the number of elements and oscillationfree shock capturing. Unstructured spacetime grids allow simultaneous adaptation in space and time. A localized patch-by-patch solution process limits the cost of reanalysis when the error indicator calls for more refinement. Numerical examples demonstrate the method’s performance and shock-capturing capabilities.
