Higher-order Finite Elements for Hybrid Meshes Using New Nodal Pyramidal Elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
We provide a comprehensive study of arbitrarily high-order finite elements defined on pyramids. We propose a new family of high-order nodal pyramidal finite element which can be used in hybrid meshes which include hexahedra, tetrahedra, wedges and pyramids. Finite elements matrices can be evaluated through approximate integration, and we show that the order of convergence of the method is conserved. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of hybrid meshes compared to pure tetrahedral meshes or hexahedral meshes obtained by splitting tetrahedra into hexahedra.

Higher-Order Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Pyramidal Elements using Orthogonal Bases
We study finite elements of arbitrarily high-order defined on pyramids for discontinuous Galerkin methods. We propose a new family of high-order pyramidal finite elements using orthogonal basis functions which can be used in hybrid meshes including hexahedra, tetrahedra, wedges and pyramids. We perform a comparison between these orthogonal functions and nodal functions for affine and non-affine...
متن کاملApproximation of H(div) with High-Order Optimal Finite Elements for Pyramids, Prisms and Hexahedra
Classical facet elements do not provide an optimal rate of convergence of the numerical solution toward the solution of the exact problem in H(div)-norm for general unstructured meshes containing hexahedra and prisms. We propose two new families of high-order elements for hexahedra, triangular prisms and pyramids that recover the optimal convergence. These elements have compatible restrictions ...
متن کاملTorsion Analysis of High-Rise Buildings using Quadrilateral Panel Elements with Drilling D.O.F.s
Generally, the finite element method is a powerful procedure for analysis of tall buildings. Yet, it should be noted that there are some problems in the application of many finite elements to the analysis of tall building structures. The presence of artificial flexure and parasitic shear effects in many lower order plane stress and membrane elements, cause the numerical procedure to converge in...
متن کاملModified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method in the Analysis of 2D Linear Elastic Problems
In this paper, a modification on the fixed grid finite element method is presented and used in the solution of 2D linear elastic problems. This method uses non-boundary-fitted meshes for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Special techniques are required to apply boundary conditions on the intersection of domain boundaries and non-boundary-fitted elements. Hence, a new met...
