Application analysis of time stepping methods for impact problems

Abstract Dynamic contact and impact problems are widely applicable. An accurate solution method for these kinds of can be used in many fields mechanical engineering (e.g., cutting metalwork, cogwheel drives, etc.). However, the proper handling is problematic, as there emerges a substantial amount nonlinearity displacement field. Therefore, spurious high frequency oscillation present solution. These oscillations must avoided, divergence easily occur algorithm due to them. In order eliminate this effect, applied numerical chosen set properly. study, comprehensive guide provided appropriate selection its parameters.
