AMR applied to non-linear Elastodynamics

We describe an AMR scheme for non-linear elastodynamics in Lagrangean coordinates. The scheme uses a linear Riemann solver and computes the deformation gradient from the displacements in order to ensure that it is consistent. Solid bodies with stress free boundaries are modeled by embedding them in a very weak material with a smooth transition in material properties at the boundary. A full approximation multigrid is used to compute states in dynamical equilibrium.
