A Study on the Acceleration of the Solution Convergence for the Rigid Plastic FEM

강소성 유한요소해석에서 해의 수렴 가속화에 관한 연구

In this paper, the acceleration is studied for the rigid-plastic FEM of metal forming simulation. In the FEM, the direct iteration and Newton-Raphson iteration are applied to obtain the initial solution and accurate solution respectively. In general, the acceleration scheme for the direct iteration is not used. In this paper, an Aitken accelerator is applied to the direct iteration. In the modified Newton-Raphson iteration, the step length or the deceleration coefficient is used for the fast and robust convergence. The step length can be determined by using the accelerator. The numerical experiments have been performed for the comparisons. The faster convergence is obtained with the acceleration in the direct and Newton-Raphson iterations.
