Error controlled time-stepping procedure for nonlinear fracture


 

A very simple procedure to adapt "ont-the-fly" the time-stepping schemes in the simulation of delamination [Allix et al. 2010]. A statically admissible solution is reconstructed by interpolation between two sucessive time solutions. A measure of the non-verification of the constitutive law of this reconstructed solution over each time interval provides a valid error estimate for the time discretisation scheme. It is used to adapt the load steps (value of the arc-length parameter in this particular case).
