A note on the local discontinuous Galerkin method for linear problems in elasticity

چکیده
Abstract. In this paper we present a mixed local discontinuous Galerkin formulation for linear elasticity problems in the plane with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The approach follows previous dual-mixed methods and introduces the stress and strain tensors, and the rotation, as auxiliary unknowns. Next, we use suitable lifting operators to eliminate part of the unknowns of the corresponding discrete system, and obtain an equivalent variational formulation. We discuss about the unique solvability of the discrete scheme and the main difficulty that arises to derive the a-priori error estimates. Finally, we propose a computable a-posteriori error estimate and include some numerical examples, which show the expected rates of convergence for the error (with respect to a suitable meshdependent norm), as well as the good behaviour of the adaptivity algorithm to recover the optimal rates of convergence, results that are not covered yet by the theory.

متن کاملLocking-free adaptive discontinuous Galerkin FEM for linear elasticity problems
An adaptive discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for linear elasticity problems is presented. We develop an a posteriori error estimate and prove its robustness with respect to nearly incompressible materials (absence of volume locking). Furthermore, we present some numerical experiments which illustrate the performance of the scheme on adaptively refined meshes.
متن کاملOn the Local Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Linear Elasticity
Following Castillo et al. 2000 and Cockburn 2003 , a general framework of constructing discontinuous Galerkin DG methods is developed for solving the linear elasticity problem. The numerical traces are determined in view of a discrete stability identity, leading to a class of stable DG methods. A particular method, called the LDG method for linear elasticity, is studied in depth, which can be v...
متن کاملOptimization of Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin Parameters using Genetic Algorithm for 3D Elasto-static Problems (TECHNICAL NOTE)
A truly Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is developed for solving 3D elasto-static problems. Using the general MLPG concept, this method is derived through the local weak forms of the equilibrium equations, by using a test function, namely, the Heaviside step function. The Moving Least Squares (MLS) are chosen to construct the shape functions. The penalty approach is used to impose ...
