Robust multigrid methods for nearly incompressible linear elasticity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider multigrid methods for problems in linear elasticity which are robust with respect to the Poisson ratio. Therefore, we consider mixed approximations involving the displacement vector and the pressure, where the pressure is approximated by discontinuous functions. Then, the pressure can be eliminated by static condensation. The method is based on a saddle point smoother which was introduced for the Stokes problem and which is transferred to the elasticity system. The performance and the robustness of the multigrid method are demonstrated on several examples with different discretizations in 2D and 3D. Furthermore, we compare the multigrid method for the saddle point formulation and for the condensed positive definite system.

A Nonconforming Mixed Multigrid Method for the Pure Traction Problem in Planar Linear Elasticity
A robust optimal-order multigrid method for the pure traction problem in two-dimensional linear elasticity is studied. The finite element discretization is a variant of a mixed method proposed by Falk where the displacement is approximated by nonconforming piecewise linear functions and the "pressure" is approximated by piecewise constant functions on a coarser grid. Full multigrid convergence ...

A multigrid method using conforming P -1 finite elements is developed for the twodimensional pure traction boundary value problem of linear elasticity. The convergence is uniform even as the material becomes nearly incompressible. A heuristic argument for acceleration of the multigrid method is discussed as well. Numerical results with and without this acceleration as well as performance estima...

We consider multigrid methods for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) H(div, Ω)-conforming discretizations of the Stokes equation. We first describe a simple Uzawa iteration for the solution of the Stokes problem, which requires a solution of a nearly incompressible linear elasticity problem on every iteration. Then, based on special subspace decompositions of H(div, Ω), as introduced in [J. Schöberl. ...

We present a cut cell method in R for enforcing Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions with nearly incompressible linear elastic materials in irregular domains. Virtual nodes on cut uniform grid cells are used to provide geometric flexibility in the domain boundary shape without sacrificing accuracy.
