Abstract

The subject of the paper is the numerical solution of dynamic elasticity problems. We consider linear model and nonlinear Neo-Hookean model.

First the continuous dynamic elasticity problem is formulated and then we pay attention to the derivation of the discrete problem. The space discretization is carried out by the discontinuous Galerkin method (DGM).

It is combined with the backward difference formula (BDF) for the time discretization. Further, several numerical ex- periments are presented showing the behaviour of the developed numerical method in dependence on the coefficient in the penalty form.

At the end the developed method is applied to the simulation of vibrations of 2D model of human vocal fold formed by four layers with different materials.
