Approximation of a Martensitic Laminate with Varying Volume Fractions

Bo Li, Mitchell Luskin (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We give results for the approximation of a laminate with varying volume fractions for multi-well energy minimization problems modeling martensitic crystals that can undergo either an orthorhombic to monoclinic or a cubic to tetragonal transformation. We construct energy minimizing sequences of deformations which satisfy the corresponding boundary condition, and we establish a series of error bounds in terms of the elastic energy for the approximation of the limiting macroscopic deformation and...

Approximation of an eigenvalue problem associated with the Stokes problem by the stream function-vorticity-pressure method

Wei Chen, Qun Lin (2006)

Applications of Mathematics

By means of eigenvalue error expansion and integral expansion techniques, we propose and analyze the stream function-vorticity-pressure method for the eigenvalue problem associated with the Stokes equations on the unit square. We obtain an optimal order of convergence for eigenvalues and eigenfuctions. Furthermore, for the bilinear finite element space, we derive asymptotic expansions of the eigenvalue error, an efficient extrapolation and an a posteriori error estimate for the eigenvalue. Finally,...

Approximation of solution branches for semilinear bifurcation problems

Laurence Cherfils (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This note deals with the approximation, by a P1 finite element method with numerical integration, of solution curves of a semilinear problem. Because of both mixed boundary conditions and geometrical properties of the domain, some of the solutions do not belong to H2. So, classical results for convergence lead to poor estimates. We show how to improve such estimates with the use of weighted Sobolev spaces together with a mesh “a priori adapted” to the singularity. For the H1 or L2-norms, we...

Approximation of the vibration modes of a plate coupled with a fluid by low-order isoparametric finite elements

Erwin Hernández (2004)

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

We analyze an isoparametric finite element method to compute the vibration modes of a plate, modeled by Reissner-Mindlin equations, in contact with a compressible fluid, described in terms of displacement variables. To avoid locking in the plate, we consider a low-order method of the so called MITC (Mixed Interpolation of Tensorial Component) family on quadrilateral meshes. To avoid spurious modes in the fluid, we use a low-order hexahedral Raviart-Thomas elements and a non conforming coupling is...

Asymptotic lower bounds for eigenvalues of the Steklov eigenvalue problem with variable coefficients

Yu Zhang, Hai Bi, Yidu Yang (2021)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, using a new correction to the Crouzeix-Raviart finite element eigenvalue approximations, we obtain asymptotic lower bounds of eigenvalues for the Steklov eigenvalue problem with variable coefficients on d -dimensional domains ( d = 2 , 3 ). In addition, we prove that the corrected eigenvalues converge to the exact ones from below. The new result removes the conditions of eigenfunction being singular and eigenvalue being large enough, which are usually required in the existing arguments about...

Averaging of gradient in the space of linear triangular and bilinear rectangular finite elements

Josef Dalík, Václav Valenta (2013)

Open Mathematics

An averaging method for the second-order approximation of the values of the gradient of an arbitrary smooth function u = u(x 1, x 2) at the vertices of a regular triangulation T h composed both of rectangles and triangles is presented. The method assumes that only the interpolant Πh[u] of u in the finite element space of the linear triangular and bilinear rectangular finite elements from T h is known. A complete analysis of this method is an extension of the complete analysis concerning the finite...

Basic principles of mixed Virtual Element Methods

F. Brezzi, Richard S. Falk, L. Donatella Marini (2014)

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

The aim of this paper is to give a simple, introductory presentation of the extension of the Virtual Element Method to the discretization of H(div)-conforming vector fields (or, more generally, of (n − 1) − Cochains). As we shall see, the methods presented here can be seen as extensions of the so-called BDM family to deal with more general element geometries (such as polygons with an almost arbitrary geometry). For the sake of simplicity, we limit ourselves to the 2-dimensional case, with the aim...
