Local Parameterization and the Asymptotic Numerical Method
The Asymptotic Numerical Method (ANM) is a family of algorithms, based on computation of truncated vectorial series, for path following problems [2]. In this paper, we present and discuss some techniques to define local parameterization [4, 6, 7] in the ANM. We give some numerical comparisons of pseudo arc-length parameterization and local parameterization on non-linear elastic shells problems
