Internal finite element approximations in the dual variational method for second order elliptic problems with curved boundaries

Ivan Hlaváček, Michal Křížek (1984)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

Using the stream function, some finite element subspaces of divergence-free vector functions, the normal components of which vanish on a part of the piecewise smooth boundary, are constructed. Applying these subspaces, an internal approximation of the dual problem for second order elliptic equations is defined. A convergence of this method is proved without any assumption of a regularity of the solution. For sufficiently smooth solutions an optimal rate of convergence is proved. The...

Dual finite element analysis of axisymmetric elliptic problems with an absolute term

Ivan Hlaváček (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

A model second order elliptic equation in cylindrical coordinates with mixed boundary conditions is considered. A dual variational formulation is employed to calculate the cogradient of the solution directly. Approximations are defined on the basis of standard finite elements spaces. Convergence analysis and some a posteriori error estimates are presented.

Slab analogy in theory and practice of conforming equilibrium stress models for finite element analysis of plane elastostatics

Miroslav Vondrák (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

The fundamental problem in the application of the principle of complementary energy is the construction of suitable subsets that approximate the set of all statically admissible fields satisfying both the conditions of equilibrium inside the body and the static boundary conditions. The notion “slab analogy” is motivated and the interface conditions for the Airy stress function are established at the contact of two domains. Some spaces of types of conforming equilibrium stress elements,...

Finite element approximation for a div-rot system with mixed boundary conditions in non-smooth plane domains

Michal Křížek, Pekka Neittaanmäki (1984)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

The authors examine a finite element method for the numerical approximation of the solution to a div-rot system with mixed boundary conditions in bounded plane domains with piecewise smooth boundary. The solvability of the system both in an infinite and finite dimensional formulation is proved. Piecewise linear element fields with pointwise boundary conditions are used and their approximation properties are studied. Numerical examples indicating the accuracy of the method are given. ...
