Abstract

A proper orthogonal decomposition with RBF interpolation (PODI-RBF) method has been developed to solve indenter contact problems in real time [1]. In the PODI-RBF method, POD basis vectors extracted from global solution snapshots, which are obtained from full-order simulations of indenter contact problems with a set of training contact locations, may not accurately represent local deformations near new contact locations in the online stage. In this paper, local POD basis vectors are separately extracted from local solution snapshots near training contact locations using a cuboid reference domain and a mapping process. In addition, a greedy heuristic sampling algorithm is proposed to efficiently choose training contact locations in the offline stage. Global PODI-RBF solutions are enriched with local PODI-RBF solutions to enhance local deformations near new contact locations. Numerical results show that the proposed method can be effectively used to improve the accuracy of PODI-RBF solutions of indenter contact problems.
