Abstract: | This work concerns with the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the time‐dependent linear elasticity problem. We derive the a posteriori error bounds for semidiscrete and fully discrete problems, by making use of the stationary elasticity reconstruction technique which allows to estimate the error for time‐dependent problem through the error estimation of the associated stationary elasticity problem. For fully discrete scheme, we make use of the backward‐Euler scheme and an appropriate space‐time reconstruction. The technique here can be applicable for a variety of DG methods as well. |
