Title: Linear-nonlinear interface for finite element impact analysis

A method is presented for interfacing a nonlinear, explicit finite element structural model with a linear finite element representation. The interfacing procedure allows local nonlinear modelling of a predominantly linear structural response. Conditional stability of the linear-nonlinear interface procedure is established. 30 refs.
