Some General Lagrange Interpolations over Simplex Finite Elements with Reference to Derivative Singularities
نویسندگان
چکیده
For simplex finite elements, the native Lagrange family with arbitrarily placed nodes is presented in hierarchy-ranking expressions. It includes the well-known complete Lagrange family as well as the mid-edge Lagrange family to he proposed in this paper. This new family enables us to utilize harmonious combinations of interpolations of different orders in finite element analysis. As an application of developed simplex interpolations to fracture mechanics where some derivative singularities are needed, we then describe the semi-radial singularity mapping with examinations of peculiar trial function spaces.

Anisotropic error bounds of Lagrange interpolation with any order in two and three dimensions
In this paper, using the Newton's formula of Lagrange interpolation, we present a new proof of the anisotropic error bounds for Lagrange interpolation of any order on the triangle, rectangle, tetrahedron and cube in a unified way. It is known that the polynomial interpolations are the foundations of construction the finite elements and the interpolation error estimates play a key role in derivi...
متن کاملError estimates for anisotropic finite elements and applications
The finite element method is one of the most frequently used techniques to approximate the solution of partial differential equations. It consists in approximating the unknown solution by functions which are polynomials on each element of a given partition of the domain, made of triangles or quadrilaterals (or their generalizations to higher dimensions). A fundamental problem is to estimate the...
متن کاملNonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Bending of Straight Beams Using hp-Spectral Approximations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...
متن کاملAn 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...
متن کاملSolution of Harmonic Problems with Weak Singularities Using Equilibrated Basis Functions in Finite Element Method
In this paper, Equilibrated Singular Basis Functions (EqSBFs) are implemented in the framework of the Finite Element Method (FEM), which can approximately satisfy the harmonic PDE in homogeneous and heterogeneous media. EqSBFs are able to automatically reproduce the terms consistent with the singularity order in the vicinity of the singular point. The newly made bases are used as the compliment...
