Convergence of an equilibrium finite element model for plane elastostatics

Ivan Hlaváček (1979)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

An equilibrium triangular block-element, proposed by Watwood and Hartz, is subjected to an analysis and its approximability property is proved. If the solution is regular enough, a quasi-optimal error estimate follows for the dual approximation to the mixed boundary value problem of elasticity (based on Castigliano's principle). The convergence is proved even in a general case, when the solution is not regular.

Contact between elastic bodies. III. Dual finite element analysis

Jaroslav Haslinger, Ivan Hlaváček (1981)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

The problem of a unilateral contact between elastic bodies with an apriori bounded contact zone is formulated in terms of stresses via the principle of complementary energy. Approximations are defined by means of self-equilibriated triangular block-elements and an L 2 -error estimate is proven provided the exact solution is regular enough.

Contact between elastic perfectly plastic bodies

Jaroslav Haslinger, Ivan Hlaváček (1982)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

If the material of the bodies is elastic perfectly plastic, obeying the Hencky's law, the formulation in terms of stresses is more suitable than that in displacements. The Haar-Kármán principle is first extended to the case of a unilateral contact between two bodies without friction. Approximations are proposed by means of piecewise constant triangular finite elements. Convergence of the method is proved for any regular family of triangulations.
