A Finite Element Approach for the Simulation of Quasi-Brittle Fracture

In the context of a strong discontinuity approach, we propose a finite element formulation with an embedded displacement discontinuity. The basic assumption of the proposed approach is the additive split of the total displacement field in a continuous and a discontinuous part. An arbitrary crack splits the linear triangular finite element into two parts, namely a triangular and a quadrilateral part. The discontinuous part of the displacement field in the quadrilateral portion is approximated using linear shape functions. For these purposes, the quadrilateral portion is divided into two triangular parts which is in this way similar to the approach proposed in [5]. In contrast, the discretisation is different compared to formulations proposed in [1] and [3], where the discontinuous part of the displacement field is approximated using bilinear shape functions. The basic theory of the underlying finite element formulation and a cohesive interface model to simulate brittle fracture are presented. By means of representative numerical examples differences and similarities of the present formulation and the formulations proposed in [1] and [3] are highlighted. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Discrete concepts for elliptic optimal control problems with constraints on the gradient of the state

We consider elliptic optimal control problems with constraints on the gradient of the state and propose two distinguish concepts for their discretization. The first concept uses piecewise linear, continuous finite element Ansatz functions for the state, while the second concept uses the lowest order Raviart–Thomas mixed finite element. In both cases variational discretization from [5] is used for the controls. We present optimal finite element error estimates for the numerical solutions and confirm our theoretical findings by a numerical experiment. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Implementation of a Free-locking Composite Piezoelectric Shell Element

In this contribution, a free–locking shell element with piezoelectric ceramic layers is presented. The material law and the constitutive equations of the coupled electro–mechanical problem are derived in convective coordinates, so that the presented element accounts for geometrical nonlinearities [2]. To avoid zero–energy mode and locking effects of the thin shell structure, assumed natural strain (ANS) method [1] is implemented. Finally, some numerical examples demonstrate the ability of this element to solve linear and nonlinear problems. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

求解具有混合边界条件的拟线性扩散方程的有限元方法的误差估计问题

在M.F.Wheeler的[5]中,对一类拟线性抛物型方程的F.E.M,进行了颇为深入的理论分析。但是,[5]所考虑的方程,其高阶项的系数,尚有某种局限性,以致不能应用于一般的各向异性问题;对于混合边界的情形,也未加讨论。此外,[5]中所涉及的条件也是较强的,如要求解函数u(x,t)∈c~2(Ω×[0,T])等等。 本文对实践中常常遇到的具有第三混合边界条件的一类拟线性扩散问题的F.E.M,在较[5]为弱的条件下,进行了讨论,把有关拟线性问题的误差估计问题归结为某一线性椭圆边值问题F.E.M的误差估计问题。本文的结果是[1]的推广。     

应力协调迭代法在高速冲击动力有限元中的应用

在EPIC[2][3],NONSAP[4]等弹塑性撞击动力有限元程序中,有一个共同的弱点是都采取了静力有限元方法,把位移函数用线性插值表示.单元之间应力是非协调的.因此应用虚功原理的基础不合理.为了克服以上困难,本文引入一个新的方法,即协调应力迭代法.实例表明,这种方法在冲击动力有限元计算中是稳定和精确的,同时具有减小单元刚度的作用.

Stopping criteria for iterations in finite element methods

Summary. This work extends the results of Arioli [1], [2] on stopping criteria for iterative solution methods for linear finite element problems to the case of nonsymmetric positive-definite problems. We show that the residual measured in the norm induced by the symmetric part of the inverse of the system matrix is relevant to convergence in a finite element context. We then use Krylov solvers to provide alternative ways of calculating or estimating this quantity and present numerical experiments which validate our criteria.Mathematics Subject Classification (2000): 65N30, 65F10, 65F35     

A Decomposition Method for Some Biharmonic Problems

In this paper we consider two biharmonic problems [13] which will be conventionally indicated as "simply supported" and "clamped plate" problem. We construct a decomposition method [16], [19] related to the partition of the plate in two, or more, subdomains. We carry on the numerical treatment of the method first decoupling these fourth order problems into two second order problems, then discretizing these problems by mixed linear finite element and obtaining an algebraic system. Moreover, we present an iterative block algorithm for solving the foregoing system, which can be efficiently developed on parallel computers.In the end, we extend the method to the respective biharmonic variational inequalities [10].     

Preconditioning cubic spline collocation discretizations of elliptic equations

Summary. This work considers the uniformly elliptic operator defined by in (the unit square) with boundary conditions: on and on and its discretization based on Hermite cubic spline spaces and collocation at the Gauss points. Using an interpolatory basis with support on the Gauss points one obtains the matrix . We discuss the condition numbers and the distribution of -singular values of the preconditioned matrices where is the stiffness matrix associated with the finite element discretization of the positive definite uniformly elliptic operator given by in with boundary conditions: on on . The finite element space is either the space of continuous functions which are bilinear on the rectangles determined by Gauss points or the space of continuous functions which are linear on the triangles of the triangulation of using the Gauss points. When we obtain results on the eigenvalues of . In the general case we obtain bounds and clustering results on the -singular values of . These results are related to the results of Manteuffel and Parter [MP], Parter and Wong [PW], and Wong [W] for finite element discretizations as well as the results of Parter and Rothman [PR] for discretizations based on Legendre Spectral Collocation.

Approximative compactness of the algebraic sum of sets

Let X be a group with an invariant metric, A and B nonempty subsets of X with B compact. It is proved that if A is an existence set [1] (approximatively compact [2]) then A + B and B + A are existence sets (approximatively compact). An example is given of a one-dimensional linear metric space (with an invariant metric) in which there exist an approximatively compact set A and an element v such that A + v is not an existence set.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 23, No. 1, pp. 55–60, January, 1978.     

A compact finite element method for elastic bodies

A nonconforming finite element method is described for treating linear equilibrium problems, and a convergence proof showing second order accuracy is given. The close relationship to a related compact finite difference scheme due to Phillips and Rose [1] is examined. A Condensation technique is shown to preserve the compactness property and suggests an approach to a certain type of homogenization.
