A posteriori error estimates for the Johnson–Nédélec FEM–BEM coupling

چکیده
Only very recently, Sayas [The validity of Johnson-Nédélec's BEM-FEM coupling on polygonal interfaces. SIAM J Numer Anal 2009;47:3451-63] proved that the Johnson-Nédélec one-equation approach from [On the coupling of boundary integral and finite element methods. Math Comput 1980;35:1063-79] provides a stable coupling of finite element method (FEM) and boundary element method (BEM). In our work, we now adapt the analytical results for different a posteriori error estimates developed for the symmetric FEM-BEM coupling to the Johnson-Nédélec coupling. More precisely, we analyze the weighted-residual error estimator, the two-level error estimator, and different versions of (h-h/2)-based error estimators. In numerical experiments, we use these estimators to steer h-adaptive algorithms, and compare the effectivity of the different approaches.

Classical FEM - BEM coupling methods : nonlinearities , well - posedness , and adaptivity
We consider a (possibly) nonlinear interface problem in 2D and 3D, which is solved by use of various adaptive FEM-BEM coupling strategies, namely the Johnson-Nédélec coupling, the Bielak-MacCamy coupling, and Costabel’s symmetric coupling. We provide a framework to prove that the continuous as well as the discrete Galerkin solutions of these coupling methods additionally solve an appropriate op...
متن کاملStability of symmetric and nonsymmetric FEM-BEM couplings for nonlinear elasticity problems
We consider symmetric as well as non-symmetric coupling formulations of FEM and BEM in the frame of nonlinear elasticity problems. In particular, the Johnson-Nédélec coupling is analyzed. We prove that these coupling formulations are well-posed and allow for unique Galerkin solutions if standard discretizations by piecewise polynomials are employed. Unlike prior works, our analysis does neither...
متن کاملOn the Adaptive Coupling of Finite Elements and Boundary Elements for Elasto-Plastic Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to present an adaptive FEM-BEM coupling method that is valid for both twoand three-dimensional elasto-plastic analyses. The method takes care of the evolution of the elastic and plastic regions. It eliminates the cumbersome of a trial and error process in the identification of the FEM and BEM sub-domains in the standard FEM-BEM coupling approaches. The method estima...

This paper is concerned with the coupling of non-conform nite element and boundary element methods in continuation of Part I (C. Carstensen, S.A. Funken: Coupling of non-conform nite elements and boundary elements I: a priori estimates), where we recast the interface model problem, introduced a coupling scheme and proved a priori error estimates. In this paper, we establish sharp a posteriori e...

Given any structure, we seek to find the solution of mechanical problem as precisely and efficiently as possible. Within this condition, the BEM is robust and promising development, standing out in the analysis of cases with occurrence of large stress gradients, as in problems of fracture mechanics. Moreover, in BEM the modeling of infinite means is performed naturally, without the use of appro...
