Finite element approximation of H - surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a piecewise linear finite element approximation of H-surfaces, or surfaces with constant mean curvature, spanned by a given Jordan curve in R3 is considered. It is proved that the finite element Hsurfaces converge to the exact H-surfaces under the condition that the Jordan curve is rectifiable. Several numerical examples are given.

Optimal order finite element approximation for a hyperbolic integro-differential equation
Semidiscrete finite element approximation of a hyperbolic type integro-differential equation is studied. The model problem is treated as the wave equation which is perturbed with a memory term. Stability estimates are obtained for a slightly more general problem. These, based on energy method, are used to prove optimal order a priori error estimates.

متن کاملA Proposed Modeling Method in Finite Element Slope Stability Analysis
Limit-equilibrium method (LEM) and finite element method (FEM) with strength reduction method (SRM) techniques are the most widely used analysis tools in slope stability assessment. Recently, researchers have reported that both factor of safety (FOS) values and failure surfaces obtained from LEM and FEM are generally in good agreement, except in some particular cases. In this paper, the FOS and...
متن کاملFinite element approximations to surfaces of prescribed variable mean curvature
We give an algorithm for finding finite element approximations to surfaces of prescribed variable mean curvature, which span a given boundary curve. We work in the parametric setting and prove optimal estimates in the H 1 norm. The estimates are verified computationally. Mathematics Subject Classification (1991): 65N30 · 49Q05 · 53A10
متن کاملFinite Element Approximation of Elliptic Partial Differential Equations on Implicit Surfaces
The aim of this paper is to investigate finite element methods for the solution of elliptic partial differential equations on implicitely defined surfaces. The problem of solving such equations without triangulating surfaces is of increasing importance in various applications, and their discretization has recently been investigated in the framework of finite difference methods. For the two most...
