Abstract

In this paper, we propose an efficient and robust two-grid preconditioner for the linear elasticity equation with high contrasts. To tackle the challenges imposed by multiple scales and high-contrast, a coarse space (to form the coarse preconditioner) is constructed via a carefully designed spectral problem within the framework of the GMsFEM (Generalized Multiscale Finite Element Method). The dimension of coarse space can be adaptively controlled by a predefined eigenvalue tolerance. We also consider linear elasticity problems with stochastic coefficients and an efficient preconditioner with parameter-independent multiscale basis is proposed. The logarithm of Young’s modulus is decomposed using a truncated Karhunen–Lo\(\grave{e}\)ve expansion, and some sample parameters are used to generate the multiscale basis. Numerical results of both 2D and 3D examples demonstrate that our proposed preconditioner is robust with respect to the contrast of the material and highly efficient for large-scale elasticity problems.
