Descripción
The energy-momentum method, a space?time discretization strategy for elastic problems in nonlinear solid, structural, and multibody mechanics relies critically on a dis- crete derivative operation that defines an approximation of the internal forces that guarantees the discrete conservation of energy and momenta. In the case of nonlinear elastody- namics, the formulation for general hyperelastic materials is due to Simo and Gonzalez, dating back to the mid-nineties. In this work we show that there are actually infinite sec- ond order energy-momentum methods for elastodynamics, all of them deriving from a modified midpoint integrator by an appropriate redefinition of the stress tensor at equilibrium. Such stress tensors can be interpreted as the solutions to local convex projections, whose precise definitions lead to differ- ent methods. The mathematical requirements of such projec- tions are identified. Based on this geometrical interpretation several conserving methods are examined.
