Abstract
The use of Finite Element and Finite Difference methods of spatial and temporal discretization for solving structural dynamics problems gives rise to purely numerical errors. Among the many numerical methods used to damp out the spurious oscillations occurring in the high frequency domain, it is proposed here to analyse and compare the Bulk Viscosity method, which involves calculating the stresses, and a method recently presented by Tchamwa and Wielgosz, which is based on an explicit time integration algorithm. The 1-D study and the 2-D axisymmetric study on a bar subjected to compression and impact loads presented here show that the former method is insensitive to meshing irregularities, whereas the latter method is not. The Bulk Viscosity method was found to be sensitive, however, to the behavior of the material, contrary to the Tchamwa---Wielgosz method. Since comparisons of this kind are rather complex, a specific method of analysis was developed.
