Abstract
This paper proposes a novel way to solve transient linear, and non-linear solid dynamics for compressible, nearly incompressible, and incompressible material in the updated Lagrangian framework for tetrahedral unstructured finite elements. It consists of a mixed formulation in both displacement and pressure, where the momentum equation of the continuum is complemented with a pressure equation that handles incompressibility inherently. It is obtained through the deviatoric and volumetric split of the stress, that enables us to solve the problem in the incompressible limit. A linearization of the deviatoric part of the stress is implemented as well. The Variational Multi-Scale method (VMS) is developed based on the orthogonal decomposition of the variables, which damps out spurious pressure fields for piece wise linear tetrahedral elements. Various numerical examples are presented to assess the robustness, accuracy and capabilities of our scheme in bending dominated problems, and for complex geometries.
