چکیده

Denoting by S the sharp constant in the Sobolev inequality in W 0 (B), being B the unit ball in R, and denoting by Sh its approximation in a suitable finite element space, we show that Sh converges to S as h ↘ 0 with a polynomial rate of convergence. We provide both an upper and a lower bound on the rate of convergence, and present some numerical results.

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...

Looking for the Best Constant in a Sobolev Inequality: A Numerical Approach

A numerical method for the computation of the best constant in a Sobolev inequality involving the spacesH2(Ω) and C0(Ω) is presented. Green’s functions corresponding to the solution of Poisson problems are used to express the solution. This (kind of) non-smooth eigenvalue problem is then formulated as a constrained optimization problem and solved with two different strategies: an augmented Lagr...

Lavrentiev regularization + Ritz approximation = uniform finite element error estimates for differential equations with rough coefficients

We consider a parametric family of boundary value problems for a diffusion equation with a diffusion coefficient equal to a small constant in a subdomain. Such problems are not uniformly well-posed when the constant gets small. However, in a series of papers, Bakhvalov and Knyazev have suggested a natural splitting of the problem into two well-posed problems. Using this idea, we prove a uniform...

The Relationship between Constant Friction Factor and Coefficient of Friction in Metal Forming using Finite Element Analysis

Frictional shear stress is usually determined by utilizing the coefficient of friction or the constant friction factor models. The present study deals with finite element analysis of double cup extrusion process to determine the relationship between constant friction factor (m) and coefficient of friction (µ), since the metal flow in this process is very sensitive to frictional conditions. Ther...
