A New Family of Stabel Elements for Nearly Incompressible Elasticity Based on a Mixed Petrov-Galerkin Finite Element Formulation.
A new finite element approach for problems containing small geometric details
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...

A new quadrilateral MINI-element for Stokes equations
We introduce a new stable MINI-element pair for incompressible Stokes equations on quadrilateral meshes, which uses the smallest number of bubbles for the velocity. The pressure is discretized with the P1-midpoint-edge-continuous elements and each component of the velocity field is done with the standard Q1-conforming elements enriched by one bubble a quadrilateral. The superconvergence in the pressure of the proposed pair is analyzed on uniform rectangular meshes, and tested numerically on uniform...

A priori error analysis of a fully-mixed finite element method for a two-dimensional fluid-solid interaction problem
We introduce and analyze a fully-mixed finite element method for a fluid-solid interaction problem in 2D. The model consists of an elastic body which is subject to a given incident wave that travels in the fluid surrounding it. Actually, the fluid is supposed to occupy an annular region, and hence a Robin boundary condition imitating the behavior of the scattered field at infinity is imposed on its exterior boundary, which is located far from the obstacle. The media are governed by the elastodynamic...

A quasi-Newton algorithm based on a reduced model for fluid-structure interaction problems in blood flows
We propose a quasi-Newton algorithm for solving fluid-structure interaction problems. The basic idea of the method is to build an approximate tangent operator which is cost effective and which takes into account the so-called added mass effect. Various test cases show that the method allows a significant reduction of the computational effort compared to relaxed fixed point algorithms. We present 2D and 3D fluid-structure simulations performed either with a simple 1D structure model or with shells...

A Reduced Basis Enrichment for the eXtended Finite Element Method
This paper is devoted to the introduction of a new variant of the extended finite element method (Xfem) for the approximation of elastostatic fracture problems. This variant consists in a reduced basis strategy for the definition of the crack tip enrichment. It is particularly adapted when the asymptotic crack-tip displacement is complex or even unknown. We give a mathematical result of quasi-optimal a priori error estimate and some computational tests including a comparison with some other strategies....
