Syntax

integrator Tchamwa (1) [2]
# (1) int, unique integrator tag
# [2] double, spectral radius, \rho_\infty, default: 0.5

Theory

The integration relationship is given by the following.

\[ u_{n+1}=u_n+\Delta{}tv_n+\phi\Delta{}t^2a_n, \]

\[ v_{n+1}=v_n+\Delta{}ta_n, \]

where

\[ \phi=\dfrac{2}{1+\rho_\infty}. \]

The Tchamwa scheme has a first order accuracy and controllable numerical dissipation.

Remarks

If the model is linear elastic, it is possible to indicate using

set linear_system true

to speed up the computation.
