Abstract
An approach suitable for 3-D impact computation with a large number of unil ateral friction contact surfaces is presented. Applications concern connect ion refined models for which the structure components are assumed to be ela stic. It is a modular approach based on a mixed domain decomposition method and the LATIN method. The resolution process is iterative and operates ove r the entire time-space domain. Several examples are finally analyzed to sh ow the method's capability of describing shocks. (C) 2000 Civil-Comp Ltd. a nd Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
