A mixed finite element method for thin film epitaxy
We present a mixed finite element method for the thin film epitaxy problem. Comparing to the primal formulation which requires C2 elements in the discretization, the mixed formulation only needs to use C1 elements, by introducing proper dual variables. The dual variable in our method is defined naturally from the nonlinear term in the equation, and its accurate approximation will be essential f...
متن کاملFinite Element Discretization of a Reduced Model in Thin-film Micromagnetics
We consider the reduced model proposed in [3] which is consistent with the prior works [1] and [4] and is valid for sufficiently large and thin ferromagnetic samples. Let ω ⊆ R denote a bounded Lipschitz domain with diameter l = 1. This domain represents our ferromagnetic sample Ω = ω × [0, t], whose thickness t > 0 is neglected for simplicity. Here, we consider a uniaxial material with in-plan...
متن کاملA cohesive finite element for quasi-continua
In this paper, a cohesive finite element method (FEM) is proposed for a quasi-continuum (QC), i.e. a continuum model that utilizes the information of underlying atomistic microstructures. Most cohesive laws used in conventional cohesive FEMs are based on either empirical or idealized constitutive models that do not accurately reflect the actual lattice structures. The cohesive quasi-continuum f...
متن کاملCohesive model approach to the nucleation and propagation of cracks due to a thermal shock
This paper studies the initiation of cohesive cracks in the thermal shock problem through a variational analysis. A two-dimensional semi-infinite slab with an imposed temperature drop on its free surface is considered. Assuming that cracks are periodically distributed and orthogonal to the surface, at short times we show that the optimum is a distribution of infinitely close cohesive cracks. Th...
متن کاملTime continuity in cohesive finite element modeling
We introduce the notion of time continuity for the analysis of cohesive zone interface finite element models. We focus on “initially rigid” models in which an interface is inactive until the traction across it reaches a critical level. We argue that methods in this class are time discontinuous, unless special provision is made for the opposite. Time discontinuity leads to pitfalls in numerical ...
