Edge Finite Elements of Variable
نویسنده
چکیده
I review the main ideas behind the construction of edge elements of variable order 16, 39, 18], and discuss the possibility of extending the construction to Nedelec's elements of the rst kind 31]. A motivation leading to the deenition of hp-interpolation operators is highlighted, and their impact on the hp-discretizations of Maxwell's equations discussed.

Which elements of a finite group are non-vanishing?
Let $G$ be a finite group. An element $gin G$ is called non-vanishing, if for every irreducible complex character $chi$ of $G$, $chi(g)neq 0$. The bi-Cayley graph ${rm BCay}(G,T)$ of $G$ with respect to a subset $Tsubseteq G$, is an undirected graph with vertex set $Gtimes{1,2}$ and edge set ${{(x,1),(tx,2)}mid xin G, tin T}$. Let ${rm nv}(G)$ be the set of all non-vanishi...
متن کاملMixed-Mode Stress Intensity Factors for Surface Cracks in Functionally Graded Materials Using Enriched Finite Elements
Three-dimensional enriched finite elements are used to compute mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) for three-dimensional cracks in elastic functionally graded materials (FGMs) that are subject to general mixed-mode loading. The method, which advantageously does not require special mesh configuration/modifications and post-processing of finite element results, is an enhancement of previou...
متن کاملComputational and Programming Aspects of Transition Elements in a Three-dimensional Finite Element Program
The performance of any finite element (FE) structural analysis is directly related to the global number of nodes and degrees of freedom (DOF) of the discretized structure and mesh distribution attributes. It is obvious that the appropriate numerical analysis needs finer elements in the zone of interest, e.g. zone of high stress concentration and intensity, and coarser elements for farther porti...
متن کاملElectrostatic Analysis for Plane Problems With Finite Formulation
The Finite Formulation is an alternative to the widely used Finite Elements or Edge Elements methods and adopts the global variables as a starting point. The Finite Formulation allows one to straightforwardly deduce the set of algebraic equations. This method has been applied to the solution of plane electrostatic problems on the basis of two different topologies of the primal mesh elements: tr...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Railway Track Supporting System using Finite-Infinite and Thin Layer Elements
The present contribution deals with the numerical modeling of railway track-supporting systems-using coupled finite-infinite elements-to represent the near and distant field stress distribution, and also employing a thin layer interface element to account for the interfacial behavior between sleepers and ballast. To simulate the relative debonding, slipping and crushing at the contact area betw...
