Elastodynamic simulation of particle dewetting: An adaptive spacetime discontinuous Galerkin model simulates shock–induced dewetting and rewetting of stiff inclusions. Height and color fields depict velocity magnitude and strain-energy density. Reflections, surface waves and focusing effects within the circular inclusions create a complex history of dewetting and rewetting. For details, see the research nugget on this topic.
Particle dewetting during wave propagation: .avi (197839 K), .mov (1576 K), .ppt (36 K)

Pixel-Exact Rendering of Spacetime Finite Element Solutions
Michael Garland, Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign
Time steps from an elastodynamic problem showing crack-tip wave scattering within an elastic solid subjected to shock loading. Both velocity magnitude (height) and strain energy density (color) are shown. Each time step corresponds to a planar slic e through the spacetime mesh "Linear Elastodynamics" animation below. For details, see the research nugget on this topic.

A rectangular plate with a crack is stressed on two opposite sides. The resulting shock wave travels through the plate and reflects off the crack tip. (Only the upper right quadrant of plate is simulated, with symmetric boundary conditions.) The spacet ime mesh computed by our algorithm, shown here with time as the vertical axis, accurately captures the passage of shear and pressure waves through the plate. For details, see the research nugget on this topic.
