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.

Internal finite element approximation in the dual variational method for the biharmonic problem

Ivan Hlaváček, Michal Křížek (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

A conformal finite element method is investigated for a dual variational formulation of the biharmonic problem with mixed boundary conditions on domains with piecewise smooth curved boundary. Thus in the problem of elastic plate the bending moments are calculated directly. For the construction of finite elements a vector potential is used together with C 0 -elements. The convergence of the method is proved and an algorithm described.

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.
