A Parallel Noninvasive Multiscale Strategy for a Mixed Domain Decomposition Method with Frictional Contact

SummaryA multiscale extension for a parallel noninvasive mixed domain decomposition method is presented. After briefly exposing our noninvasive implementation of the Latin method, we present how the scalability of the algorithm is obtained by the partial verification of the constitutive law of the interfaces. We propose a new interpretation of the classical macrostrategy that imposes the overall balance of interface's forces. We also propose a new study of the macrostrategy that consists in enforcing the coarse continuity of the interfaces' displacement.
