A Direct Boundary Element Method for Signorini Problems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, a Signorini problem is reduced to a variational inequality on the boundary, and a direct boundary element method is presented for its solution. Furthermore, error estimates for the approximate solutions of Signorini problems are given. In addition, we show that the Signorini problem may be formulated as a saddle-point problem on the boundary.

A Monotonic Method for the Numerical Solution of Some Free Boundary Value Problems
This work presents an efficient monotonic algorithm for the numerical solution of the obstacle problem and the Signorini problems, when they are discretized either by the finite element method or by the finite volume method. The convergence of this algorithm applied to the discrete problem is proven in both cases.
متن کاملBoundary Variational Inequality Approach in the Anisotropic Elasticity for the Signorini Problem
The purpose of the paper is reducing the three-dimensional Signorini problem to a variational inequality which occurs on the two-dimensional boundary of a domain occupied by an elastic anisotropic body. The uniqueness and existence theorems for the solution of the boundary variational inequality are proved and a boundary element procedure together with an abstract error estimate is described fo...
متن کاملModified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method in the Analysis of 2D Linear Elastic Problems
In this paper, a modification on the fixed grid finite element method is presented and used in the solution of 2D linear elastic problems. This method uses non-boundary-fitted meshes for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Special techniques are required to apply boundary conditions on the intersection of domain boundaries and non-boundary-fitted elements. Hence, a new met...
متن کاملA boundary element procedure for contact problems in plane linear elastostatics
— Hère we present a new solution procedure for contact problems in plane linear elastostatics via boundary intégral variational inequalities having as unknowns the trace of the displacement field and its boundary traction. We admit the case of only traction-contact boundary conditions without prescribing the displacements along some part of the boundary of the elasticly deformed body. Without i...
متن کاملGradient schemes for the Signorini and the obstacle problems, and application to hybrid mimetic mixed methods
Gradient schemes is a framework which enables the unified convergence analysis of many different methods – such as finite elements (conforming, non-conforming and mixed) and finite volumes methods – for 2nd order diffusion equations. We show in this work that the gradient schemes framework can be extended to variational inequalities involving mixed Dirichlet, Neumann and Signorini boundary cond...
