RT Journal Article T1 Numerical analysis of a method for solving 2D linear isotropic elastodynamics with traction free boundary condition using potentias and finite elements A1 Albella Martínez, Jorge A1 Imperiale, Sebastien A1 Joly, Patrick A1 Rodríguez García, Jerónimo K1 CFL condition K1 Elastic wave propagation K1 Helmholtz decomposition K1 Mass lumping K1 Numerical analysis K1 Potentials K1 Stability of the evolution problem AB When solving 2D linear elastodynamic equations in homogeneous isotropic media, a Helmholtz decomposition of the displacement field decouples the equations into two scalar wave equations that only interact at the boundary. It is then natural to look for numerical schemes that independently solve the scalar equations and couple the solutions at the boundary. The case of rigid boundary condition was treated by Burel [Ph.D. thesis, Université Paris Sud-Paris XI (2014)] and Burel et al. [Numer. Anal. Appl. 5 (2012), pp. 136— 143]. However the case of traction free boundary condition was proven by Martinez et al. [J. Sci. Comput. 77 (2018), pp. 1832-1873] to be unstable if a straightforward approach is used. Then an adequate functional framework as well as a time domain mixed formulation to circumvent these issues was presented. In this work we first review the formulation presented by Martinez et al. [J. Sci. Comput. 77 (2018), pp. 1832-1873] and propose a subsequent discretised formulation. We provide the complete stability analysis of the corresponding numerical scheme. Numerical results that illustrate the theory are also shown.
