A new finite element approach for problems containing small geometric details

Wolfgang Hackbusch, Stefan A. Sauter (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper a new finite element approach is presented which allows the discretization of PDEs on domains containing small micro-structures with extremely few degrees of freedom. The applications of these so-called Composite Finite Elements are two-fold. They allow the efficient use of multi-grid methods to problems on complicated domains where, otherwise, it is not possible to obtain very coarse discretizations with standard finite elements. Furthermore, they provide a tool for discrete homogenization...

An analysis of the boundary layer in the 1D surface Cauchy–Born model

Kavinda Jayawardana, Christelle Mordacq, Christoph Ortner, Harold S. Park (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The surface Cauchy–Born (SCB) method is a computational multi-scale method for the simulation of surface-dominated crystalline materials. We present an error analysis of the SCB method, focused on the role of surface relaxation. In a linearized 1D model we show that the error committed by the SCB method is 𝒪(1) in the mesh size; however, we are able to identify an alternative “approximation parameter” – the stiffness of the interaction potential – with respect to which the relative error...

An optimal scaling law for finite element approximations of a variational problem with non-trivial microstructure

Andrew Lorent (2001)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this note we give sharp lower bounds for a non-convex functional when minimised over the space of functions that are piecewise affine on a triangular grid and satisfy an affine boundary condition in the second lamination convex hull of the wells of the functional.
