Asynchronous global–local non-invasive coupling for nonlinear monotone patches: Application to plasticity problems

This article presents the asynchronous global–local non-invasive coupling in the case of nonlinear monotone patches as encountered when inserting elastoplastic components in a global linear elastic model. The convergence of the method is theoretically established in a general framework using the paracontractions technique and illustrated in academic examples with a weak scalability study considering the case of balanced and unbalanced patches.
