Some Results on the Global Inversion of Bilinear and Quadratic Isoparametric Finite Element Transformations*
This paper contains sufficient conditions under which a map whose domain is a compact set is a bijection onto a given set. Relative to certain isoparametric finite element maps, one set of conditions involves the nonvanishing of the Jacobian; another the notion of overspill. An algorithm based on elimination is given for the numerical inversion of these maps.
متن کاملA Boundary Elements and Particular Integrals Implementation for Thermoelastic Stress Analysis
A formulation and an implementation of two-dimensional Boundary Element Method (BEM) analysis for steady state, uncoupled thermoelastic problems is presented. This approach differs from other treatments of thermal loads in BEM analysis in which the domain integrals due to the thermal gradients are to be incorporated in the analysis via particular-integrals. Thus unlike Finite Elements or Field ...

— We consider a second order real elliptic Dirichlet problem in a bounded plane smooth domain, Lu = f in fi œ Ry u — 0 on dQ. For its numerical solution we employ the finite element method with quadratic triangular isoparametric éléments combined with a numerical intégration procedure involving function values at three nodal points in each element. We prove that iffhas third order derivatives i...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Full Isoparametric Multigrid Algorithm for a Second Order Elliptic Problem
A second order elliptic problem is investigated in domains with complex geometry. The sequence of nonnested finite element triangulations is generated by higher order curved elements. Convergence analysis of the full nonnested multigrid algorithm is done on the basis of a pure isoparametric approach. A numerical example supporting the considered theory is presented.
متن کاملVibration and Stability of Axially Moving Plates by Standard and Spectral Finite Element Methods
Based on classical plate theory, standard and spectral finite element methods are extended for vibration and dynamic stability of axially moving thin plates subjected to in-plane forces. The formulation of the standard method earned through Hamilton’s principle is independent of element type. But for solving numerical examples, an isoparametric quadrilateral element is developed using Lagrange ...
