Triangular Elements in the Finite Element Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a plane polygonal domain Q and a corresponding (general) triangulation we define classes of functions pmix, v) which are polynomials on each triangle and which are in C^'CQ) and also belong to the Sobolev space ^""^'(n). Approximation theoretic properties are proved concerning these functions. These results are then applied to the approximate solution of arbitrary-order elliptic boundary value problems by the Galerkin method. Estimates for the error are given. The case of second-order problems is discussed in conjunction with special choices of approximating polynomials.

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 کاملHigher Order Triangular Finite Elements with Mass Lumping for the Wave Equation
Solving the wave equation by a C o finite element method requires to mass-lump the term in time of the variational f6rmulation in order to avoid the inversion of a n-diagonal symmetric matrix at each time-step of the algorithm. One can easily get this mass-lumping on quadrilateral meshes by using a h-version of the spectral elements, based on Gauss-Lobatto quadrature formulae but the equivalent...
