Abstract
In this contribution, the finite cell method (FCM) is applied to solve transient problems of linear elastodynamics. The mathematical formulation of FCM for linear elastodynamics is presented, following from the weak formulation of the initial/boundary-value problem. Semi-discrete time integration schemes are briefly discussed, and the choice of implicit time integration is justified. A 1D benchmark problem is solved using FCM, illustrating the method's ability to solve problems of linear elastodynamics obtaining high rates of convergence. Furthermore, a numerical example of transient analysis from an industrial application is solved using FCM. The numerical results are compared to the results obtained using state-of-the-art commercial software, employing linear finite elements, in conjunction with explicit time integration. The results illustrate the potential of FCM as a powerful tool for transient analysis in elastodynamics, offering a high degree of accuracy at a moderate computational effort.
