Efficient Finite Element Assembly of High Order Whitney Forms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an efficient method for the finite element assembly of high order Whitney elements. We start by reviewing the classical assembly technique and by highlighting the most time consuming part. Then, we show how this classical approach can be reformulated into a computationally efficient matrix-matrix product. We also address the global orientation problem of the vector valued basis functions. We conclude by presenting numerical results for a three dimensional wave propagation problem.

On high order finite element spaces of differential forms
We show how the high order finite element spaces of differential forms due to Raviart-Thomas-Nédelec-Hiptmair fit into the framework of finite element systems, in an elaboration of the finite element exterior calculus of Arnold-Falk-Winther. Based on observations by Bossavit, we provide new low order degrees of freedom. As an alternative to existing choices of bases, we provide canonical resolu...
متن کاملHygrothermal Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates by Using Efficient Higher Order Shear Deformation Theory
Hygrothermal analysis of laminated composite plates has been done by using an efficient higher order shear deformation theory. The stress field derived from hygrothermal fields must be consistent with total strain field in this type of analysis. In the present formulation, the plate model has been implemented with a computationally efficient C0 finite element developed by using consistent strai...
متن کاملSpecial Finite Elements for Dipole Modelling
This thesis focuses on the solution of the EEG forward problem, using the finite element method. The goal is to compare different dipole models for a current source in the human head, with a focus on Whitney type basis functions. For the current sources in the head a widely used model is the mathematical or current dipole. Its strong singularity poses a problem for numerical methods. Therefore ...

In this article, the prominence has been given to study the influence of skew angle on bending response of functionally graded material shell panels under thermo-mechanical environment. Derivation of governing equations is based on the Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation theory and Sander’s kinematic equations. To circumvent the problem of C1 continuity requirement coupled with the finite el...
متن کاملWhitney Elements on Sparse Grids
The aim of this work is to generalize the idea of the discretizations on sparse grids to discrete differential forms. The extension to general l-forms in d dimensions includes the well known Whitney elements, as well as H(div; Ω)and H(curl; Ω)-conforming mixed finite elements. The formulation of Maxwell’s equations in terms of differential forms gives a crucial hint how they should be discretiz...
