Abstract
This research investigates the optimal use of time integration methods to solve transient wave propagation problems in the coupling domain of bond-based Peridynamics with finite elements. We respectively study the numerical dispersions of bond-based Peridynamics and finite elements with the central difference method and the Noh-Bathe time integration method. It reveals that the difference in numerical wave speed between FE and PD domain causes spurious wave reflection leading to inaccurate solutions. The study of the numerical dispersion reveals that the Noh-Bathe scheme can reduce the wave reflection, whereas the central difference method still causes the wave reflection between the domains. In the practical wave propagation problems, the Noh-Bathe scheme provides more accurate solutions than the central difference method.
