From Domain Decomposition to Model Reduction for Large Nonlinear Structures by Leturcq, Bertrand, Le Tallec, Patrick

“…The model at subdomain level solves the full elastic problem but with a reduced nonlinear loading, based on simplified boundary conditions, reduced creep flow rules, projected sign preserving contact conditions, and a NTFA like reduced friction law to get the evolution of each slipping mode. With this loading reduction, the local solution can be explicitly obtained from a small set of precomputed elementary elastic solutions. …”
