An Updated-Lagrangian Method For Hyperelasto-Plastic Materials And Fluid-Structure Interaction

A computational framework for modeling and simulating fast dynamic fluid–structure interaction is presented. The approach relies on a partitioned coupling strategy that preserves the fundamental properties of hyperbolic systems, namely local conservation (mass, momentum, and energy) and invariant-domain preservation. Both the Euler equations for the fluid and the hyperelastic equations for the solid are reformulated in an updated-Lagrangian frame, enabling the use of robust and well-established schemes for each subsystem [1, 5, 4, 3]. The coupling at the fluid–solid interface is formulated as a constrained minimization problem, ensuring consistency, local conservation, and stability. We then show how the design choices of our partitioned framework make the construction of second-order extensions, local time-stepping strategies [2], and sliding algorithms both natural and efficient. Finally, we discuss the extension of the methodology to elastoplastic materials, using a von Mises criterion together with either a relaxation strategy or a radial projection method.
