A hybrid explicit solution technique for quasi-static transients

In certain instances, such as in the modelling of manufacturing process, undesirable dynamic effects may accompany the use of an explicit transient solution, while the use of full dynamic relaxation is inefficient for this class of problem due to critical damping. In this paper, an approach that merges the salient features of dynamic relaxation with those of the fully explicit solution, is presented. The key objective of the method is the …
