Conforming polygonal finite elements
In this paper, conforming finite elements on polygon meshes are developed. Polygonal finite elements provide greater flexibility in mesh generation and are better-suited for applications in solid mechanics which involve a significant change in the topology of the material domain. In this study, recent advances in meshfree approximations, computational geometry, and computer graphics are used to...
متن کاملIntegration within Polygonal Finite Elements
Engineering mechanics formulations of aerospace industry problems overwhelmingly rely upon spatial averaging techniques. Crucial applications in the area of dynamic response analysis and stochastic estimation of material degradation can be cited as important cases. Integration procedures on finite domains underlie physically acceptable averaging processes. Unlike one-dimensional cases, integral...
متن کاملPolygonal finite elements for finite elasticity
Nonlinear elastic materials are of great engineering interest, but challenging to model with standard fi nite elements. The challenges arise because nonlinear elastic materials are characterized by nonconvex stored-energy functions as a result of their ability to undergo large reversible deformations, are incompressible or nearly incompressible, and often times possess complex microstructures. ...
متن کاملPolyhedral Finite Elements Using Harmonic Basis Functions
Finite element simulations in computer graphics are typically based on tetrahedral or hexahedral elements, which enables simple and efficient implementations, but in turn requires complicated remeshing in case of topological changes or adaptive refinement. We propose a flexible finite element method for arbitrary polyhedral elements, thereby effectively avoiding the need for remeshing. Our poly...
متن کاملMagic Numbers in Polygonal and Polyhedral Clusters
Certain values for the nuclearity of clusters tend to occur more frequently than others. This paper gives a mathematical derivation of the preferred values of nuclearity (the “magic numbers”) corresponding to various symmetrical, close-packed polygons (in two dimensions) and polyhedra (in three dimensions). Simple general formulas are obtained for the numbers of atoms in these clusters. Explici...
