On a deficiency in unconditionally stable explicit time-integration methods in elastodynamics and heat transfer (Q800139): Difference between revisions

Unconditionally stable (semi-)explicit integration schemes for stiff systems of equations as generated by finite element analysis of elastodynamics and nonstationary heat transfer are shown to suffer from the DuFort-Frankel-Saul'ev syndrome [\textit{R. D. Richtmyer} and \textit{K. W. Morton}, Difference methods for initial value problems (1967; Zbl 0155.475)] whereby coupling between the space and time discretizations may have a ruinous effect on the accuracy of the computations.
