Abstract

The mechanical behavior of arterial walls in the physiological range
can be described by anisotropic, hyperelastic elasticity models. Different models are considered. Each of them is represented by a polyconvex strain energy function in order to guarantee the existence of minimizers. Discretization of these three dimensional models by the finite element method usually results in a large number of equations. Dual-primal FETI methods are among the most severely tested domain decomposition methods for the solution of partial differential equations on parallel computers. A computational framework using a Newton-Krylov-FETI approach for the solution of the discretized models will be discussed.

This presentation is based on joint work with Oliver Rheinbach, Department of Mathematics, University of Duisburg-Essen and Dominik Brands, Jörg Schröder, Institute of Mechanics, University of Duisburg-Essen.
