Modified integration rules for reducing dispersion error in finite element methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a simple but effective technique for reducing dispersion errors in finite element solutions of timeharmonic wave propagation problems. The method involves a simple shift of the integration points to locations away from conventional Gauss or Gauss–Lobatto integration points. For bilinear rectangular elements, such a shift results in fourth-order accuracy with respect to dispersion error (error in wavelength), as opposed to the second-order accuracy resulting from conventional integration. Numerical experiments involving distorted meshes indicate that the method has superior performance in comparison with other dispersion reducing finite elements. 2003 Elsevier B.V.

Dispersion-reducing finite elements for transient acoustics
This paper focuses on increasing the accuracy of low-order four-node quadrilateral finite elements for the transient analysis of wave propagation. Modified integration rules, originally proposed for time-harmonic problems, provide the basis for the proposed technique. The modified integration rules shift the integration points to locations away from the conventional Gauss or Gauss-Lobatto integ...

متن کاملAn explicit time-domain finite-element method for room acoustics simulation
The time-domain finite-element method (TD–FEM) is a reliable numerical method for room acoustics simulation. With the recent progress in computer technology, the use of FEM at high frequencies has become a realistic option. However, efficient simulation at high frequencies is still cited as a challenging task. One of the key to realize such simulation is to reduce the discretization error calle...
متن کاملModified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method to Solve 3D Elasticity Problems of Functionally Graded Materials
In the present paper, applicability of the modified fixed grid finite element method in solution of three dimensional elasticity problems of functionally graded materials is investigated. In the non-boundary-fitted meshes, the elements are not conforming to the domain boundaries and the boundary nodes which are used in the traditional finite element method for the application of boundary condit...
متن کاملEfficiency of Anti-Hourglassing Approaches in Finite Element Method (TECHNICAL NOTE)
one of the simplest numerical integration method which provides a large saving in computational efforts, is the well known one-point Gauss quadrature which is widely used for 4 nodes quadrilateral elements. On the other hand, the biggest disadvantage to one-point integration is the need to control the zero energy modes, called hourglassing modes, which arise. The efficiency of four different an...
