Micro Abstract:
We present an explicit time integration scheme for finite element solution of contact-impact problems with stabilization of contact forces using a bi-penalty formulation. The stability limit for an un-penalized system is preserved by a special choice of mass and stiffness penalty parameter ratio. Moreover, the time stepping process produces stable results for a large range of the stiffness penalty parameter. Behavior of the method is shown on impact problems of heterogeneous bars.
