An Immersed Finite Element Method for Elasticity Equations with Interfaces

چکیده
Abstract. The immersed finite element method based on a uniform Cartesian mesh has been developed for the linear elasticity equations with discontinuous coefficients across an interface in this paper. The interface does not have to be aligned with the mesh. The main idea is to modify the basis function over those triangles in which the interface cuts through so that the natural interface conditions are satisfied. The standard linear basis functions are used for other triangles. The interface is represented by a level set function. Numerical examples are also presented.

متن کاملFree Vibration Analysis of Nanoplates Made of Functionally Graded Materials Based On Nonlocal Elasticity Theory Using Finite Element Method
In this paper, an analysis of free vibration in functionally graded nanoplate is presented. Third-order shear deformation plate theory is used to reach more accuracy in results. Small-scale effects are investigated using Eringen`s nonlocal theory. The governing equations of motion are obtained by Hamilton`s principle. It is assumed that the properties of nanoplates vary through their thicknesse...
متن کاملHybrid finite difference/finite element version of the immersed boundary method
The immersed boundary (IB) method is a framework for modeling systems in which an elastic structure is immersed in a viscous incompressible fluid. The IB formulation of such problems describes the elasticity of the structure in Lagrangian form and describes the momentum, viscosity, and incompressibility of the fluid-structure system in Eulerian form. Interactions between Lagrangian and Eulerian...
متن کاملStability Results and Algorithmic Strategies for the Finite Element Approach to the Immersed Boundary Method
The immersed boundary method is both a mathematical formulation and a numerical method for the study of fluid structure interactions. Many numerical schemes have been introduced to reduce the difficulties related to the non-linear coupling between the structure and the fluid evolution; however numerical instabilities arise when explicit or semi-implicit methods are considered. In this work we p...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of solid deformation driven by creeping flow using an immersed finite element method
An immersed finite element method for solid–fluid interaction is presented with application focus on highly deformable elastic bodies in a Stokes flow environment. The method is based on a global balance equation which combines the solid and fluid momentum balances, the fluid mass balance and, in weak form, the interface conditions. By means of an Updated Lagrangian description for finite elast...
