Abstract
In this work, we show that the stability criterion of the explicit time integration method applied to the Bresse system is given by
where the thickness \(\epsilon \) constitutes a limitation to compute the numerical solutions. This restriction to the stability criterion is not standard (is not CFL condition) and if \(\epsilon <<1\) it is very restrictive to numerical computations. To overcome this restriction, we use the technics performed by Wright [Commun Appl Numer Methods 3:181–185 (1987), Commun Numer Methods Eng 14:81–86 (1998)] to minimize the influence of \(\epsilon \) on stability criterion such that the CFL condition prevails.
