Abstract
The theory of elasticity is a very important discipline which has a lot of applications in science and engineering. In this paper we are interested in elastic materials with different properties between interfaces implicated the discontinu- ous coefficients in the governing elasticity equations. The main aim is to develop a practical numerical scheme for modeling the behaviour of a simplified piecewise homogeneous medium subjected to an external action in 2D domains. Therefore, the discontinuous Galerkin method is used for the simulation of elastic waves in such elastic materials. The special attention is also paid to treatment of boundary and interface conditions. For the treatment of the time dependency the implicit Euler method is employed. Moreover, the limiting procedure is incorporated in the resulting numerical scheme in order to overcome nonphysical spurious overshoots and undershoots in the vicinity of discontinuities in discrete solutions. Finally, we present computational results for two-component material, representing a planar elastic body subjected to a mechanical hit or mechanical loading.
