Abstract
This paper is concerned with some of the major issues
which have been addressed in the implementation of Arbitrary
Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite element methods
for transient fluid-structure problems. We first recall the
basic concepts underlying the ALE kinematical description
and present an automatic algorithm for assigning grid
velocities and thereby provide the ALE finite element code
with a continuous rezoning capability. Emphasis is then
placed on time integration of the semi-discrete ALE conservation
equations for mass, momentum and energy, on
the incorporation of shock-capturing techniques in the
ALE finite element context and on ALE stress update
algorithms for materials exhibiting path-dependent constitutive
behaviour.
