Mortar Finite Elements with Dual Lagrange Multipliers: Some Applications

چکیده
Domain decomposition techniques provide a powerful tool for the numerical approximation of partial differential equations. We consider mortar techniques with dual Lagrange multiplier spaces to couple different discretization schemes. It is well known that the discretization error for linear mortar finite elements in the energy norm is of order h. Here, we apply these techniques to curvilinear boundaries, nonlinear problems and the coupling of different model equations and discretizations.

Mortar Finite Elements for Coupling Compressible and Nearly Incompressible Materials in Elasticity
We consider the coupling of compressible and nearly incompressible materials within the framework of mortar methods. Taking into account the locking effect, we use a suitable discretization for the nearly incompressible material and work with a standard conforming discretization elsewhere. The coupling of different discretization schemes in different subdomains are handled by flexible mortar te...
متن کاملDual Quadratic Mortar Finite Element Methods for 3D Finite Deformation Contact
Mortar finite element methods allow for a flexible and efficient coupling of arbitrary nonconforming interface meshes and are by now quite well established in nonlinear contact analysis. In this paper, a mortar method for three-dimensional (3D) finite deformation contact is presented. Our formulation is based on so-called dual Lagrange multipliers, which in contrast to the standard mortar appro...
متن کاملQuasi-Optimal Approximation of Surface Based Lagrange Multipliers in Finite Element Methods
We show quasi-optimal a priori convergence results in the Land H−1/2-norm for the approximation of surface based Lagrange multipliers such as those employed in the mortar finite element method. We improve on the estimates obtained in the standard saddle point theory, where error estimates for both the primal and dual variables are obtained simultaneously and thus only suboptimal a priori estima...
متن کاملA Mortar Finite Element Method Using Dual Spaces for the Lagrange Multiplier
The mortar nite element method allows the coupling of diierent discretization schemes and triangulations across subregion boundaries. In the original mortar approach the matching at the interface is realized by enforcing an orthogonality relation between the jump and a modiied trace space which serves as a space of Lagrange multipliers. In this paper, this Lagrange multiplier space is replaced ...
متن کاملMortar finite elements for a heat transfer problem on sliding meshes
We consider a heat transfer problem with sliding bodies, where heat is generated on the interface due to friction. Neglecting the mechanical part, we assume that the pressure on the contact interface is a known function. Using mortar techniques with Lagrange multipliers, we show existence and uniqueness of the solution in the continuous setting. Moreover, two different mortar formulations are a...
