Mesh adaptivity in the mortar finite element method by Christine BERNARDI
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mortar element method [BMP94, BMP93] becomes an important tool for mesh adaptivity in finite elements. Indeed, completely independent finite element discretizations can be used on the subdomains of a nonconforming partition of the initial domain without overlapping. This solves the contradiction between conformity and regularity and allows for working on a fully adapted mesh with a much smaller number of degrees of freedom. In the case of the Laplace equation in a polygon Ω

Error indicators for the mortar finite element discretization of the Laplace equation
The mortar technique turns out to be well adapted to handle mesh adaptivity in finite elements, since it allows for working with nonnecessarily compatible discretizations on the elements of a nonconforming partition of the initial domain. The aim of this paper is to extend the numerical analysis of residual error indicators to this type of methods for a model problem and to check their efficien...

متن کاملMortar Finite Element Discretization of a Model Coupling Darcy and Stokes Equations
As a first draft of a model for a river flowing on a homogeneous porous ground, we consider a system where the Darcy and Stokes equations are coupled via appropriate matching conditions on the interface. We propose a discretization of this problem which combines the mortar method with standard finite elements, in order to handle separately the flow inside and outside the porous medium. We prove...
متن کاملA Multigrid Finite Element Method for the Mesoscale Analysis of Concrete
In classical engineering models concrete structures are described by homogenized values of material properties such as elastic modulus and ultimate stresses. However, as concrete mainly consists of natural aggregates and mortar matrix, it is a heterogeneous material with significant physical differences among its components. For most realistic simulation, we propose to process a mechanical anal...
متن کاملNon-Conforming Finite Element Methods for Nonmatching Grids in Three Dimensions
In the last decade, non-conforming domain decomposition methods such as the mortar finite element method have been shown to be reliable techniques for several engineering applications that often employ complex finite element design. With this technique, one can conveniently assemble local subcomponents into a global domain without matching the finite element nodes of each subcomponent at the co...
