E. Turska et Ba. Schrefler, ON CONVERGENCE CONDITIONS OF PARTITIONED SOLUTION PROCEDURES FOR CONSOLIDATION PROBLEMS, Computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering, 106(1-2), 1993, pp. 51-63
A systematic approach to determine conditions for convergence of parti
tioned staggered procedures for consolidation problems is presented. C
onsistency, convergence and stability is investigated for linear and n
onlinear problems and a comparison of the partitioned and direct metho
d is made. Conclusions, based also on numerical evidence, are drawn. T
he significance of the ratio of the time step length to the square of
the finite element mesh length is shown.
