Mortar Finite Elements for Coupling Compressible and Nearly Incompressible Materials in Elasticity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the coupling of compressible and nearly incompressible materials within the framework of mortar methods. Taking into account the locking effect, we use a suitable discretization for the nearly incompressible material and work with a standard conforming discretization elsewhere. The coupling of different discretization schemes in different subdomains are handled by flexible mortar techniques. A priori error analysis is carried out for the coupled problem, and several numerical examples are presented. Using dual Lagrange multipliers, the Lagrange multipliers can easily be eliminated by local static condensation.

Explicit mixed strain-displacement finite elements for compressible and quasi-incompressible elasticity and plasticity
This paper presents an explicit mixed finite element formulation to address compressible and quasi-incompressible problems in elasticity and plasticity. This implies that the numerical solution only involves diagonal systems of equations. The formulation uses independent and equal interpolation of displacements and strains, stabilized by variational subscales (VMS). A displacement sub-scale is ...
متن کاملA framework for residual-based stabilization of incompressible finite elasticity: Stabilized formulations and methods for linear triangles and tetrahedra
A new Variational Multiscale framework for finite strain incompressible elasticity is presented. Significant contributions in this work are: (i) a systematic derivation of multiscale formulations that include the classical F method as a particular subclass, (ii) an error estimation procedure for nonlinear elasticity that emanates naturally from within the present multiscale framework, and (iii)...
متن کاملA Nitsche extended finite element method for incompressible elasticity with discontinuous modulus of elasticity
In this note we propose a finite element method for incompressible (or compressible) elasticity problems with discontinuous modulus of elasticity (or, if compressible, Poisson’s ratio). The problem is written on mixed form using P 1–continuous displacements and the space of piecewise P 0 pressures, leading to the possibility of eliminating the pressure beforehand in the compressible case. In th...
متن کاملOn the stability of BDMS and PEERS elements
Using “Fortin operators” we give a new proof of stability for Stenberg’s family of BDMS elements in linear elasticity. Our approach yields the inf-sup condition with respect to the standard norms, which is indispensable for a posteriori error analysis. Furthermore our technique allows the construction of another family of finite elements strongly related to the classical PEERS element. The give...
متن کاملA general framework for multigrid methods for mortar finite elements
In this paper, a general framework for the analysis of multigrid methods for mortar finite elements is considered. The numerical realization is based on the algebraic saddle point formulation arising from the discretization of second order elliptic equations on nonmatching grids. Suitable discrete Lagrange multipliers on the interface guarantee weak continuity and an optimal discretization sche...
