  • Abstract

In this paper, we propose a domain decomposition method with Lagrange multipliers for three-dimensional linear elasticity, based on geometrically non-conforming subdomain partitions. Some appropriate multiplier spaces are presented to deal with the geometrically non-conforming partitions, resulting in a discrete saddle-point system. An augmented technique is introduced, such that the resulting new saddle-point system can be solved by the existing iterative methods. Two simple inexact preconditioners are constructed for the saddle-point system, one for the displacement variable, and the other for the Schur complement associated with the multiplier variable. It is shown that the global preconditioned system has a nearly optimal condition number, which is independent of the large variations of the material parameters across the local interfaces.

In this paper, we propose a domain decomposition method with Lagrange multipliers for three-dimensional linear elasticity, based on geometrically non-conforming subdomain partitions. Some appropriate multiplier spaces are presented to deal with the geometrically non-conforming partitions, resulting in a discrete saddle-point system. An augmented technique is introduced, such that the resulting new saddle-point system can be solved by the existing iterative methods. Two simple inexact preconditioners are constructed for the saddle-point system, one for the displacement variable, and the other for the Schur complement associated with the multiplier variable. It is shown that the global preconditioned system has a nearly optimal condition number, which is independent of the large variations of the material parameters across the local interfaces.
