Algorithm 2 Meshing stiffness and load-sharing factors

Initialize (${\mathcal{G}}_{\mathit{ij}}$)0, (pij(r))0, and (sij(r→r+1))0

1   Calculation of deformations (δBp)n, (δRKp)n, (δBg)n, (δRKg)n, and (δH)n

2   Calculation of stiffnesses (csp)n, (c1)n, and (c2)n

3   Calculation of load-sharing factors (ξ1)n and (ξ2)n

4   Calculation of normal load distribution FN = (ξ1FN)n+(ξ2FN)n

5   if n < stopping criteria update (${\mathcal{G}}_{\mathit{ij}}$)n, (pij(r))n, and (sij(r→r+1))n and go to step 1 else go to step 6

6   return (csp)n and FN
