Physics-based block preconditioning for mixed-dimensional beam-solid interaction
This paper presents a scalable physics-based block preconditioner for mixed-dimensional models in beam-solid interaction and their application in engineering. In particular, it studies the linear systems arising from a regularized mortar-type approach for embedding geometrically exact beams into solid continua. Due to the lack of block diagonal dominance of the arising 2 x 2 block system, an approximate block factorization preconditioner is used. It exploits the sparsity structure of the beam s…
