This paper describes a numerical solution for plane elasticity problem. It includes algorithms for discretization by mixed finite element methods. The discrete scheme allows the utilization of Brezzi Douglas Marini element (BDM1) for the stress tensor and piecewise constant elements for the displacement. The numerical results are compared with some previously published works or with others comi...

A hybrid finite element scheme, based on assumed deviatoric fluid stresses in the element and continuous velocity fields at the element-boundaries, is presented. The deviatoric stress and hydrostatic pressure field are subject a priori to the constraints of balance of momenta. the advantages of the present scheme are discussed, and its versatility is demonstrated through a few numerical example...

Abstract: We consider the anisotropic uniaxial formulation of the perfectly matched layer model (UPML). We prove the decay of different energies for the UPML, under certain assumptions, to demonstrate the well-posedness of this formulation. We present and analyze a mixed finite element method for the time domain discretization of the UPML to simulate wave propagation in unbounded domains in two...

Abstract. This article is devoted to the study of the finite element approximation for a nonlocal nonlinear parabolic problem. Using a linearised Crank-Nicolson Galerkin finite element method for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation, we establish the convergence and error bound for the fully discrete scheme. Moreover, important results on exponential decay and vanishing of the solutions in f...

We find that with uniform mesh, the numerical schemes derived from finite element method can keep a preserved symplectic structure in one-dimensional case and a preserved multisymplectic structure in two-dimentional case in certain discrete version respectively. These results are in fact the intrinsic reason that the numerical experiments indicate that such finite element algorithms are accurat...

By using the finite element $p$-Version in convection-diffusion problems, we can attain to a stabilized and accurate results. Furthermore, the fundamental of the finite element $p$-Version is augmentation degrees of freedom. Based on the fact that the finite element and the meshless methods have similar concept, it is obvious that many ideas in the finite element can be easily used in the meshl...

The Reissner-Mindlin model is frequently used by engineers for plates and shells of small to moderate thickness. This model is well known for its “locking” phenomenon so that many numerical approximations behave poorly when the thickness parameter tends to zero. Following the formulation derived by Brezzi and Fortin, we construct a new finite element scheme for the Reissner-Mindlin model using ...

In this paper, we conduct an a posteriori analysis for the error in a quantity of interest computed from a cell-centered finite volume scheme. The a posteriori error analysis is based on variational analysis, residual error and the adjoint problem. To carry out the analysis, we use an equivalence between the cell-centered finite volume scheme and a mixed finite element method with special choic...
