Element Method

A standard finite element method and a finite element truncation method are applied to solve the boundary value problems of nonlinear elasticity with certain nonconvex stored energy functions such as those of St. Venant-Kirchhoff materials. Finite element solutions are proved to exist and of the form of minimizers in appropriate sets of admissible finite element functions for both methods. Convergence of the finite element solutions to a solution in the form of a minimizer or microstructure for the boundary value problem is established. It is also shown that in the presence of Lavrentiev phenomenon the finite element truncation method can overcome the difficulty and converges to the absolute minimum while the standard finite element method converges to a pseudominimum which is a minimum in a slightly smaller set of admissible functions.

<p><span>We presents local gravity field modelling in a spatial domain using the finite element method (FEM). FEM as a numerical method is applied for solving the geodetic boundary value problem with oblique derivative boundary conditions (BC). We derive a novel FEM numerical scheme which is the second order accurate and more stable than the previous one published in [1]. A main difference is in applying the oblique derivative BC. While in the previous FEM approach it is considered as an average value on the bottom side of finite elements, the novel FEM approach is based on the oblique derivative BC considered in relevant computational nodes. Such an approach should reduce a loss of accuracy due to averaging.

AbstractA simple and efficient numerical technique for the buckling analysis of thin elastic plates of arbitrary shape is proposed. The approach is based upon the combination of the standard Finite Element Method with the constant deflection contour method. Several representative plate problems of irregular boundaries are treated and where possible, the obtained results are validated against corresponding results in the literature.

Element Method

A new finite element approach is developed here for the modeling of boundary value problems. In the present model, the finite element method (FEM) is reformulated by new shape functions called spherical Hankel shape functions. The mentioned functions are derived from the first and second kind of Bessel functions that have the properties of both of them. These features provide an improvement in the solution accuracy with number of elements which are equal or lower than the ones used by the classic FEM. The efficiency and accuracy of the suggested model in the potential problems are examined by several numerical examples. Then, the obtained results are compared with the analytical and numerical solutions. The comparisons indicate the high accuracy of the present method.
