Finite Element Interpolation of Nonsmooth Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a modified Lagrange type interpolation operator to approximate functions in Sobolev spaces by continuous piecewise polynomials. In order to define interpolators for "rough" functions and to preserve piecewise polynomial boundary conditions, the approximated functions are averaged appropriately either on dor (d 1 )-simplices to generate nodal values for the interpolation operator. This combination of averaging and interpolation is shown to be a projection, and optimal error estimates are proved for the projection error.

Cover interpolation functions and h-enrichment in finite element method
This paper presents a method to improve the generation of meshes and the accuracy of numerical solutions of elasticity problems, in which two techniques of h-refinement and enrichment are used by interpolation cover functions. Initially, regions which possess desired accuracy are detected. Mesh improvment is done through h-refinement for the elements existing in those regions. Total error of th...
متن کاملNon Uniform Rational B Spline (NURBS) Based Non-Linear Analysis of Straight Beams with Mixed Formulations
Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed traditionally using conventional finite element basis functions (i.e., cubic Hermite, equi-spaced Lagrange interpolation functions, or spectral/hp Legendre functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, tota...
متن کاملError Bounds for Finite Element Methods with Generalized Cubic Splines for a 4-th Order Ordinary Differential Equation with Nonsmooth Data
A boundary value problem for a 4-th order self-adjoint ordinary differential equation is considered in the case where the coefficients of the equation and its right-hand side can be nonsmooth (discontinuous, concentrated or rapidly oscillating functions). Generalized cubic splines of deficiency 1 depending on the major coefficient of the equation are applied. An error analysis of finite element...

Displacement finite element models of various beam theories have been developed using traditional finite element interpolations (i.e., Hermite cubic or equi-spaced Lagrange functions). Various finite element models of beams differ from each other in the choice of the interpolation functions used for the transverse deflection w, total rotation φ and/or shear strain γxz, or in the integral form u...
متن کاملhp-Spectral Finite Element Analysis of Shear Deformable Beams and Plates
There are different finite element models in place for predicting the bending behavior of shear deformable beams and plates. Mostly, the literature abounds with traditional equi-spaced Langrange based low order finite element approximations using displacement formulations. However, the finite element models of Timoshenko beams and Mindlin plates with linear interpolation of all generalized disp...
