چکیده

A systematic and analytic process is conducted to identify natural superconvergence points of high degree polynomial C0 finite elements in a three-dimensional setting. This identification is based upon explicitly constructing an orthogonal decomposition of local finite element spaces. Derivative and function value superconvergence points are investigated for both the Poisson and the Laplace equations. Superconvergence results are reported for hexahedral, pentahedral, and tetrahedral elements up to certain degrees.

Locating Natural Superconvergent Points of Finite Element Methods in 3d

In [20], we analytically identified natural superconvergent points of function values and gradients for several popular three-dimensional polynomial finite elements via an orthogonal decomposition. This paper focuses on the detailed process for determining the superconvergent points of pentahedral and tetrahedral elements.

Lagrange Interpolation and Finite Element Superconvergence

Abstract. We consider the finite element approximation of the Laplacian operator with the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition, and study the corresponding Lagrange interpolation in the context of finite element superconvergence. For ddimensional Qk-type elements with d ≥ 1 and k ≥ 1, we prove that the interpolation points must be the Lobatto points if the Lagrange interpolation and the fin...

Mixed-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...

Superconvergence and Extrapolation Analysis of a Nonconforming Mixed Finite Element Approximation for Time-Harmonic Maxwell's Equations

In this paper, a nonconforming mixed finite element approximating to the three-dimensional time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations is presented. On a uniform rectangular prism mesh, superclose property is achieved for electric field E and magnetic field H with the boundary condition E × n = 0 by means of the asymptotic expansion. Applying postprocessing operators, a superconvergence result is stated ...
