Error Bounds on Semi-discrete Finite Element Approximations of a Moving-boundary System Arising in Concrete Corrosion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finite element approximations of positive weak solutions to a onephase unidimensional moving-boundary system with kinetic condition describing the penetration of a sharp-reaction interface in concrete are considered. A priori and a posteriori error estimates for the semi-discrete fields of active concentrations and for the position of the moving interface are obtained. The important feature of the system of partial differential equations is that the nonlinear coupling occurs due to the presence of both the moving boundary and the non-linearities of localized sinks and sources by reaction.

A new positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element solution for parabolic equations
In this paper, a positive definite semi-discrete mixed finite element method was presented for two-dimensional parabolic equations. In the new positive definite systems, the gradient equation and flux equations were separated from their scalar unknown equations. Also, the existence and uniqueness of the semi-discrete mixed finite element solutions were proven. Error estimates were also obtaine...
متن کاملError Estimates for Mixed Finite Element Approximations of the Viscoelasticity Wave Equation
This paper studies mixed finite element approximations to the solution of the viscoelasticity wave equation. Two new transformations are introduced and a corresponding system of first order differential-integral equations is derived. The semi-discrete and full-discrete mixed finite element methods are then proposed for the problem based on the Raviart-Thomas-Nedelec spaces. The optimal error es...
متن کاملPrediction of Service Life in Concrete Structures based on Diffusion Model in a Marine Environment using Mesh Free, FEM and FDM Approaches
Chloride-induced corrosion is a key factor in the premature corrosion of concrete structures exposed to a marine environment. Fick's second law of diffusion is the dominant equation to model diffusion of chloride ions. This equation is traditionally solved by Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Difference Method (FDM). Although these methods are robust and efficient, they may face some numer...

متن کاملOn Approximate Stationary Radial Solutions for a Class of Boundary Value Problems Arising in Epitaxial Growth Theory
In this paper, we consider a non-self-adjoint, singular, nonlinear fourth order boundary value problem which arises in the theory of epitaxial growth. It is possible to reduce the fourth order equation to a singular boundary value problem of second order given by w''-1/r w'=w^2/(2r^2 )+1/2 λ r^2. The problem depends on the parameter λ and admits multiple solutions. Therefore, it is difficult to...
