An Enhanced Finite Element method for Two Dimensional Linear Viscoelasticity using Complex Fourier Elements
In this paper, the finite element analysis of two-dimensional linear viscoelastic problems is performed using quadrilateral complex Fourier elements and, the results are compared with those obtained by quadrilateral classic Lagrange elements. Complex Fourier shape functions contain a shape parameter which is a constant unknown parameter adopted to enhance approximation’s accuracy. Since the iso...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis and Scientific Computing Preprint Seria Inf-sup stability of geometrically unfitted Stokes finite elements
The paper shows an inf-sup stability property for several well-known 2D and 3D Stokes elements on triangulations which are not fitted to a given smooth or polygonal domain. The property implies stability and optimal error estimates for a class of unfitted finite element methods for the Stokes and Stokes interface problems, such as Nitsche-XFEM or cutFEM. The error analysis is presented for the ...
متن کاملError Analysis of Some Finite Element Methods for the Stokes Problem
We prove the optimal order of convergence for some two-dimensional finite element methods for the Stokes equations. First we consider methods of the Taylor-Hood type: the triangular Pi P2 element and the Qk Qk-\ > k ^ 2 , family of quadrilateral elements. Then we introduce two new low-order methods with piecewise constant approximations for the pressure. The analysis is performed using our macr...
متن کاملNumerical Experiments for the Arnold-Winther Mixed Finite Elements for the Stokes Problem
The stress-velocity formulation of the stationary Stokes problem allows an Arnold–Winther mixed finite element formulation with some superconvergent reconstruction of the velocity. This local postprocessing gives rise to two reliable a posteriori error estimators which recover optimal convergence order for the stress error estimates. The theoretical results are investigated in numerical benchma...
متن کاملStable Finite Element Methods for the Stokes Problem
The mixed finite element scheme of the Stokes problem with pressure stabilization is analyzed for the cross-grid Pk−Pk−1 elements, k≥ 1, using discontinuous pressures. The P+ k −Pk−1 elements are also analyzed. We prove the stability of the scheme using the macroelement technique. The order of convergence follows from the standard theory of mixed methods. The macroelement technique can also be ...
