In this paper, a numerical timeintegration scheme for the dynamics of nonlinear elastic shells is presented that simultaneously and independent of the time-step size inherits exactly the conservation laws of total linear, total angular momentum as well as total energy.
Abstract
A numerical time-integration scheme for the dynamics of non-linear elastic shells is presented that simultaneously and independent of the time-step size inherits exactly the conservation laws of total linear, total angular momentum as well as total energy The proposed technique generalizes to non-linear shells recent work of the authors on non-linear elastodynamics and is ideally suited for long-term/large-scale simulations The algorithm is second-order accurate and can be immediately extended with no modification to a fourth-order accurate scheme The property of exact energy conservation induces a strong notion of non-linear numerical stability which manifests itself in actual simulations

Time Integration and Discrete Hamiltonian Systems

TL;DR: In this article, a formalism for the design of conserving time-integration schemes for Hamiltonian systems with symmetry is developed, and the main result is that implicit second-order conserving schemes can be constructed for general systems which preserve the Hamiltonian along with a certain class of first integrals arising from affine symmetries.

Energy‐conserving and decaying Algorithms in non‐linear structural dynamics

Abstract: A generalized formulation of the Energy-Momentum Methodwill be developed within the framework of the GeneralizedMethodwhich allows at the same time guaranteed conservation or decay of total energy and controllable numerical dissipation of unwanted high frequency response. Furthermore, the latter algorithm will be extended by the consistently integrated constraints of energy and momentum conservation originally derived for the Constraint Energy-Momentum Algorithm. The goal of this general approach of implicit energyconserving and decaying time integration schemes is, to compare these algorithms on the basis of an equivalent notation by the means of an overall algorithmic design and hence to investigate their numerical properties. Numerical stability and controllable numerical dissipation of high frequencies will be studied in application to non-linear structural dynamics. Among the methods considered will be the Newmark Method, the classical -methods, the Energy-Momentum Methodwith and without numerical dissipation, the Constraint EnergyMomentum Algorithm and the Constraint Energy Method.

The discrete energy-momentum method: conserving algorithms for nonlinear elastodynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a second order accurate algorithm is presented that exhibits exact conservation of both total (linear and angular) momentum and total energy in a Galerkin finite element implementation and is suitable for long-term/large-scale simulations.
