A uniform rationale for Whitney forms on various supporting shapes
نویسنده
چکیده
A method for constructing Whitney forms is proposed, which applies to tetrahedra, hexahedra, triangular prisms, and pyramids in a similar way, and proceeds from a unique generating principle, thus unifying their presentation. The principle automatically enforces conformity (i.e., “tangential” or “normal continuity” of the elementary proxy fields) at element interfaces, and generates a complex of forms with the “exact sequence property” built in.

Generating Whitney Forms of Polynomial Degree One and Higher
A rationale for Whitney forms is proposed: they are seen as a device to approximate manifolds, with approximation of differential forms as a by-product. A recursive generating formula is derived. A natural way to build higher-degree forms then follows.
متن کاملWhitney Elements on Pyramids
V. GRADINARU AND R. HIPTMAIR † Abstract. Conforming finite elements inH(div; Ω) andH(curl; Ω) can be regarded as discrete differential forms (Whitney–forms). The construction of such forms is based on an interpolation idea, which boils down to a simple extension of the differential form to the interior of elements. This flexible approach can accommodate elements of more complicated shapes than ...
متن کاملEffect of Winkler Foundation on Radially Symmetric Vibrations of Bi-Directional FGM Non-Uniform Mindlin’s Circular Plate Subjected to In-Plane Peripheral Loading
An analysis has been presented of the effect of elastic foundation and uniform in-plane peripheral loading on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of circular plates of varying thickness exhibiting bi-directional functionally graded characteristics, on the basis of first order shear deformation theory. The material properties of the plate are varying following a power-law in both the radial ...
متن کاملA Comparative Study into “Gere Geometric Designs” in Islamic Architecture and Principle of “Perceptual Creation” in the Mystical Thoughts of Ibn Arabi
This article is an analytic and comparative study into abstract patterns of geometric designs, as one of the most significant spaces in the Islamic architecture, and the principle of perceptual creation. It has a comparative approach to investigate equivalence, effigy, and analogies between the micro and macro systems (in the hierarchical system of the universe). In the mystical cosmology of Ib...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Vertical Joint on the Seismic Behavior of Arched Concrete Dams under Non uniform Excitation (Case Study of Karun4 Dam)
Dam behavior investigation has been considered for a long time, with many studies conducted to identify and predict factors influencing such structures. In common dynamic analyses of dams, an input acceleration is typically used. At the same time, it was proved that such structures with a large contact with the ground usually experience different accelerations in their various supporting points...
