Abstract — In this paper, we present a non-conforming hp computational modeling methodology for solving elasticity problems. We consider the incompressible elasticity model formulated as a mixed displacement-pressure problem on a global domain which is partitioned into several local subdomains. The approximation within each local subdomain is designed using div-stable hp-mixed finite elements. ...

The FETI algorithms are numerically scalable iterative domain decomposition methods. These methods are well documented for solving equations arising from the Finite Element discretization of second or fourth order elasticity problems. The one level FETI method equipped with the Dirichlet preconditioner was shown to be numerically scalable for second order elasticity problems while the two level...

Degenerate scales usually refer to a size effect which causes non-unique solutions of boundary integral equations for certain type of boundary value problems with a unique solution. They are closely connected to the presence of a logarithmic function in the integral kernel of the single-layer potential operator. The equations of the elasticity theory provide one of the known application fields ...

This paper is concerned with the unilateral contact problem in linear elasticity. We define two a posteriori error estimators of residual type to evaluate the accuracy of the mixed finite element approximation of the contact problem. Upper and lower bounds of the discretization error are proved for both estimators and several computations are performed to illustrate the theoretical results. Mat...

This paper gives numerical experiments for the Finite Element Heterogeneous Multiscale Method applied to problems in linear elasticity, which has been analyzed in [A. Abdulle, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 16, 2006]. The main results for the FE-HMM a priori errors are stated and their sharpness are verified though numerical experiments.

In this paper we consider numerical solution of 3D linear elasticity equations described by a coupled system of second order elliptic partial differential equations. This system is discretized by trilinear parallelepipedal finite elements. Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient iterative method is used for solving large-scale linear algebraic systems arising after the Finite Element Method (FEM) dis...

Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. E-:mail: [email protected] . Abstract. In finite elasticity, the traditional local boundary-value problems are rarely appropriate. More often one has to consider non-local environmental loads. This paper gives a general description of schemes for formulating such non-local problems. Interesting examples are cavity problems, special cases of whi...

The paper offers a new approach to handling difficult parametric inverse problems in elasticity and thermo-elasticity, formulated as global optimization ones. The proposed strategy is composed of two phases. In the first, global phase, the stochastic hp-HGS algorithm recognizes the basins of attraction of various objective minima. In the second phase, the local objective minimizers are closer a...

A ctitious domain method based on boundary Lagrange multipliers is proposed for linear elasticity problems in two dimensional domains. The solution of arising saddle-point problem is obtained iteratively using MINRES method with a positive deenite block diagonal preconditioner which is based on a fast direct solver for diiusion problems. Numerical experiments demonstrate the behavior of conside...

The paper deals with the two-dimensional exterior boundary value problems of the steady-state oscillation theory for anisotropic elastic bodies. By means of the limiting absorption principle the fundamental matrix of the oscillation equations is constructed and the generalized radiation conditions of Sommerfeld–Kupradze type are established. Uniqueness theorems of the basic and mixed type bound...
