Implicit coupling of heterogeneous and asynchronous time-schemes using a primal approach based on velocity continuity at the subdomain interface

In the field of structural dynamics, it can be particularly interesting to consider a different time integrator and time scale in a different part of a problem (i.e. in the case of multi-physics problems, non smooth contact mechanics, seismic engineering with impacts, soil-structure interaction problems, or multiscale models using macro-element systems with a dynamic internal equilibrium). This paper presents a primal coupling algorithm based on...
