β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents a description of an algorithm for the coupling of a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) solver to a finite element (FE) solver. The coupling algorithm allows for frictionless sliding between FE and particles and is implemented in 3D. The coupling of FE and SPH solvers offer advantages in modelling problems with extreme deformations within a Lagrangian framework. Examples of water impact and rod penetration in 3D are included to illustrate the performance of the algorithm.

A coupled finite element (FE) and meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method for analyzing two-dimensional potential problems is presented in this paper. A transition region is created between the FE and MLPG regions. The transition region blends the trial and test functions of the FE and MLPG reg
