Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) finite elements method for                  numerical computation have great promise in applications to                     material forming simulations, and related areas, such as wear and               penetration mechanics due to its ability to analyze fully                       nonlinear problems.  The major advantages will be accuracy,                     efficiency, and reliability in nonlinear analysis.  This research               project will provide the bases for the implementation of ALE                    finite element modeling to material processing.                                                                                                                 Three aspects of ALE will be studied:  the development of ALE mesh              partitions within which mesh deployment is dynamically adjusted in              subdomains; the development of simple, efficient, and accurate ALE              stress and frictional traction update procedures; and the                       development of rapidly convergent, computationally-efficient                    linearized ALE equations of motion in adaptive ALE mesh in                      material forming simulation.
