Variational explicit dynamic integrators for finite element solid mechanics applications

The goal of this Thesis is the formulation of some new discrete variational integrators, in the sense of the Veselov formulation of discrete mechanics, which will be used to solve dynamic explicit solid mechanics problems with the Finite Element Method. The reason for developing algorithms with this...
