چکیده
We consider the numerical approximation of a flrst order stationary hyperbolic équation by the method of characteristics with pseudo time step k using discontinuous finite éléments on a mesh Th. For this method, we exhibit a "natural" norm || \\h,k for which we show that the discrete variational problem P^ is welî posed and we obtain an error estimate. We show that when k goes to zero problem (P£) (resp. the || \\h,k norm) has as a limit problem (Ph) (resp. the || \\h norm) associated to the Galerkin discontinuous method. This extends to two and three space dimension our previous results obtained in one space dimension. Résumé. On considère l'approximation numérique d'une équation hyperbolique stationnaire du premier ordre par la méthode des caractéristiques de pseudo pas de temps k et des éléments finis discontinus sur un maillage 7^. On construit, pour cette méthode, une norme "naturelle", notée || H^, pour laquelle on montre que le problème variationnel approché (P/J) est bien posé et on obtient une majoration d'erreur. On montre que, quand k tend vers zéro, le problème (Ph) (resp. la norme || \\h,k) a pour limite le problème (Ph) (resp. la norme || \\h)> associé à la méthode de Galerkin discontinue. Ceci étend à la dimension d'espace deux et trois nos résultats antérieurs obtenus en dimension un d'espace. AMS Subject Classification. 65N30, 65N25. Received: December 4, 1998.

Effects of geometrical and geomechanical properties on slope stability of open-pit mines using 2D and 3D finite difference methods
Slope stability analysis is one of the most important problems in mining and geotechnical engineering. Ignoring the importance of these problems can lead to significant losses. Selecting an appropriate method to analyze the slope stability requires a proper understanding of how different factors influence the outputs of the analyses. This paper evaluates the effects of considering the real geom...

متن کاملTarget detection Bridge Modelling using Point Cloud Segmentation Obtained from Photogrameric UAV
In recent years, great efforts have been made to generate 3D models of urban structures in photogrammetry and remote sensing. 3D reconstruction of the bridge, as one of the most important urban structures in transportation systems, has been neglected because of its geometric and structural complexity. Due to the UAV technology development in spatial data acquisition, in this study, the point cl...
متن کاملStability analysis of support systems using a coupled FEM-DFN model (Case study: a diversion tunnel at Lorestan dam site, Iran)
Various structural discontinuities, which form a discrete fracture network, play a significant role in the failure conditions and stability of the rock masses around underground excavations. Several continuum numerical methods have been used to study the stability of underground excavations in jointed rock masses but only few of them can take into account the influence of the pre-existing natur...
