The Stabilized EFG Method (for 8-noded cells)

Is a one-point integration scheme + gradient type hourglass control.
Assumed strain method for nearly incompressible materials.
Designed especially for foam and rubber materials.
The speed is between FEM reduced integration element (#1) and full
integration element (#2)
A switch to full integration (rubber) or Semi-Lagrangian kernel (foam) is allowed
in large deformation range.
Available in SMP explicit and MPP explicit.

such that for all ui ( X ,t) H 01 ( H 01 = { v : v H 1 ( ),vi = 0 on xgi }

deformation, nodal distributions and volume change.
More efficient than traditional non-interactive adaptivity using constant interval.
More robust than non-interactive adaptivity in large deformation analysis.

IAT2: The tolerance for nodal distribution. (~RMAX/RMIN for no local refinement)
IAT3: The tolerance for volumetric change. (~0.5).
The tolerance is automatically adjustable at runtime when IAAT=1.

The tolerance adjustment is affected by:
(1) How frequently interactive adaptivity is triggered
(2) Material deformation
(3) ADPFREQ
The rate of change in three different indicators over ONE time step is also considered.
If the rate is over 50%, interactive adaptivity is also triggered.

other IEBT approximations) in adaptive EFG method
Pressure smoothing is NOT recommended when there is hard contact
condition or implicit analysis has convergence problem
(Hard contact condition means the contact causes the numerical difficulty to
obtain the solution, e.g. local refinement with severe deformation and locally
high gradients)

Two control files in the job folder
adapt.fc1
1. Trigger additional adaptive steps either immediately or any time later
2. Manually remesh/edit the mesh instead of using LS-Dyna remesher
adapt.fc2
Set specific Rmin/Rmax, adaptive birth/death time for individual adaptive part
169

adapt.fc1: Three parameters C1, C2, C3
Examples:
(1) 1,0.0,0: trigger additional normal adaptivity immediately
(2) 1, 2.5e-3,0: trigger additional normal adaptivity at t=2.5e-3
(3) 1, 2.5e-3,3: trigger additional special adaptivity with manual
remeshing on adaptive part 3 at t=2.5e-3.
Manual remeshing and mesh editing:
(1) LS-DYNA will hang up waiting for new mesh from user
(2) "user.mesh" in the job folder containing the mesh for users to remesh/edit
(3) Change C1 to -1 to continue LS-DYNA with new "user.mesh"
170

adapt.fc2: Parameter list for adaptive parts
Example:
Line 1: 2 (number of adaptive parts)
Line 2: 2, 0.0,0.1,1,4 (for adaptive part 2, adaptive birth time is 0.0,
adaptive death time is 0.1, RMIN=1, RMAX=4)
Line 3: 3, 0.01,0.2,2,4 (for adaptive part 3, adaptive birth time is 0.01,
adaptive death time is 0.2, RMIN=2, RMAX=4)
If new mesh quality of some adaptive parts using manual remeshing is NOT good
enough for the remesher in LS-Dyna, it is recommended to stop adaptivity by
setting corresponding adaptive death time to be just slightly larger than C2 in
adapt.fc1 to avoid error termination due to failure of automatic remeshing.

SF : For the stress-based cohesive law, a strain filter is recommended as an extra

condition for the crack initiation under slow loading. Only when the strain reaches to this
value, the crack is allowed to initiate. However, under high dynamic loading, this value
should be null or very small to allow the appearance of Spall fracture.

A Summary of Current LS-DYNA Peridynamics

Current version is mainly for brittle fracture analysis.
Is a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approach with bond-based peridynamics theory.
Failure is based on critical energy released rate.
No element deletion is needed to advance the cracks.
Branching of the cracks is an outcome of the DG approach.
Self-contact between cracks is possible but CPU time consuming.
Accommodates for non-uniform mesh and allow the direct enforcement of
boundary conditions and constraints.
Available in R9.0.
Is mainly for windshield or plastic panels damage analysis in crashworthiness.

Autonomous and multiple cracks growth
A bond breaks when

its stretch exceeding a
critical value.
When a bond breaks, its load is

shifted to its neighbors, leading to
progress failure in brittle material.

Discontinuous Galerkin Weak Form-Explicit Dynamics (1)
The weak form of the governing equation:
253

The domain is discretized by elements.
The kinematic quantities are interpolated in each element as FEM:
The Galerkin weak form can be derived as:
This two integrations can be discretized by the summation of

Gaussian points in each element:
254

All elements do not share nodes. It implies that the discretization is piecewise continuous, i.e., the crack is allowed to go along the edges of elements.
