Hybrid Stress Finite Volume Method for Linear Elasticity Problems

چکیده
Abstract. A hybrid stress finite volume method is proposed for linear elasticity equations. In this new method, a finite volume formulation is used for the equilibrium equation, and a hybrid stress quadrilateral finite element discretization, with continuous piecewise isoparametric bilinear displacement interpolation and two types of stress approximation modes, is used for the constitutive equation. The method is shown to be free from Poisson-locking and of first order convergence. Numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results.

Convergence of a Cell-Centered Finite Volume Discretization for Linear Elasticity
We show convergence of a cell-centered finite volume discretization for linear elasticity. The discretization, termed the MPSA method, was recently proposed in the context of geological applications, where cell-centered variables are often preferred. Our analysis utilizes a hybrid variational formulation, which has previously been used to analyze finite volume discretizations for the scalar dif...
