Abstract
Lattice discrete particle models substitute the finite element method in specific problems, e.g. crack propagation and failure of quasi-brittle materials or thermoset polymers used in rebar connections and heavy-duty anchoring. The number of particles is usually very large which results in severe computational demands. Speedup of the computations can be achieved by suitable time integration method. This contribution concerns with multi-time step method based on domain decomposition method with Lagrange multipliers on interfaces. The method is formulated for nonlinear equations of motion, where the internal forces are computed directly without the stiffness matrix. Two different time steps are used in two subdomains.
