Virtual elements on agglomerated finite elements to increase the critical time step in elastodynamic simulations

In this article, we use the first‐order virtual element method (VEM) to investigate the effect of shape quality of polyhedra in the estimation of the critical time step for explicit three‐dimensional elastodynamic finite element (FE) simulations. Low‐quality FEs are common when meshing realistic com...
