On the definition of the SUPG parameter.
The LBB condition is well-known to guarantee the stability of a finite element (FE) velocity - pressure pair in incompressible flow calculations. To ensure the condition to be satisfied a certain constant should be positive and mesh-independent. The paper studies the dependence of the LBB condition on the domain geometry. For model domains such as strips and rings the substantial dependence of this constant on geometry aspect ratios is observed. In domains with highly anisotropic substructures...
This paper is concerned with the analysis of the finite element method for the numerical solution of an elliptic boundary value problem with a nonlinear Newton boundary condition in a two-dimensional polygonal domain. The weak solution loses regularity in a neighbourhood of boundary singularities, which may be at corners or at roots of the weak solution on edges. The main attention is paid to the study of error estimates. It turns out that the order of convergence is not dampened by the nonlinearity...
In the present paper we describe, how to use the Galerkin-method efficiently in solving boundary integral equations. In the first part we show how the elements of the system matrix can be computed in a reasonable time by using suitable coordinate transformations. These techniques can be applied to a wide class of integral equations (including hypersingular kernels) on piecewise smooth surfaces in 3-D, approximated by spline functions of arbitrary degree. In the second part we show, how to use the...
The existence and the unicity of a weak solution of the boundary value problem for a shallow shell reinforced with stiffening ribs is proved by the direct variational method. The boundary value problem is solved in the space , on which the corresponding bilinear form is coercive. A finite element method for numerical solution is introduced. The approximate solutions converge to a weak solution in the space .
In this note we present an algorithm for a construction of strongly regular families of triangulations for planar domains with a piecewise curved boundary. Some additional properties of the resulting triangulations are considered.
The paper is concerned with the study of an elliptic boundary value problem with a nonlinear Newton boundary condition considered in a two-dimensional nonpolygonal domain with a curved boundary. The existence and uniqueness of the solution of the continuous problem is a consequence of the monotone operator theory. The main attention is paid to the effect of the basic finite element variational crimes: approximation of the curved boundary by a polygonal one and the evaluation of integrals by numerical...
