چکیده

— In a recent paper the first two authors showed that a convenient choice of « bubble tensors » leads to a significant réduction of the number of degrees offreedom needed to definefinite element spaces for the extra stresses, suitablefor the solution of viscoelastic flow problems. In this context specialists' usual guiding criterion is a stable and accurate approximation of the underlying linear problem : the three-field Stokes system. Keeping this in view, a new element for the approximation of this problem following the same ideas is presented. Some computer tests illustrate the potentialities of the new methods. Résumé.—Dans un article récent, les deux premiers auteurs ont démontré qu'un choix convenable de « tenseurs bulle » permet une réduction très importante du nombre de degrés de liberté nécessaire pour définir des espaces d'approximation de type éléments finis, du tenseur d'extracontraintes, en vue de la simulation d'écoulements de fluides viscoêlastiques. Dans ce cadre, il est généralement admis qu'une méthode stable et précise pour l'approximation du problème linéaire sous-jacent est aussi efficace pour les systèmes non linéaires dont il est question. Ainsi on présente et on étudie ici une nouvelle méthode construite selon des principes semblables, pour le cas linéaire, à savoir, le système de Stokes à trois champs. De plus, on met en évidence le potentiel des nouvelles méthodes au travers de quelques exemples numériques.

An 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...

Torsion Analysis of High-Rise Buildings using Quadrilateral Panel Elements with Drilling D.O.F.s

Generally, the finite element method is a powerful procedure for analysis of tall buildings. Yet, it should be noted that there are some problems in the application of many finite elements to the analysis of tall building structures. The presence of artificial flexure and parasitic shear effects in many lower order plane stress and membrane elements, cause the numerical procedure to converge in...

Stable and unstable cross-grid PkQl mixed finite elements for the Stokes problem

In this paper we develop and analyze a family of mixed finite element methods for the numerical solution of the Stokes problem in two space dimensions. In these schemes, the pressure is interpolated on a mesh of quadrilateral elements, while the velocity is approximated on a triangular mesh obtained by dividing each quadrilateral into four triangles by its diagonals. Continuous interpolations o...

Error Analysis of Some Finite Element Methods for the Stokes Problem

We prove the optimal order of convergence for some two-dimensional finite element methods for the Stokes equations. First we consider methods of the Taylor-Hood type: the triangular Pi P2 element and the Qk Qk-\ > k ^ 2 , family of quadrilateral elements. Then we introduce two new low-order methods with piecewise constant approximations for the pressure. The analysis is performed using our macr...
