Reduced projection augmented Lagrange bi-conjugate gradient method for contact and impact problems

Based on the numerical governing formulation and non-linear complementary conditions of contact and impact problems,a reduced projection augmented Lagrange bi- conjugate gradient method is proposed for contact and impact problems by translating non-linear complementary conditions into equivalent formulation of non-linear program- ming.For contact-impact problems,a larger time-step can be adopted arriving at numer- ical convergence compared with penalty method.By establishment of the impact-contact formulations which are equivalent with original non-linear complementary conditions,a reduced projection augmented Lagrange bi-conjugate gradient method is deduced to im- prove precision and efficiency of numerical solutions.A numerical example shows that the algorithm we suggested is valid and exact.
