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...

In sheet metal forming processes with complex strain paths, a part is subjected to large plastic deformation. This severe plastic deformation leads to high plastic strain localization zones and subsequent accumulation of those strains. Then internal and superficial micro-defects and in other words ductile damage is created. This damage causes quality problems such as fracture. Therefore, design...

ERROR ESTIMATES OF A FIRST-ORDER LAGRANGE FINITE ELEMENT TECHNIQUE FOR NONLINEAR SCALAR CONSERVATION EQUATIONS∗ JEAN-LUC GUERMOND† AND BOJAN POPOV† Abstract. This paper establishes a O(h 1 4 ) error estimate in the L∞t (Lx)-norm for the approximation of scalar conservation equations using an explicit continuous finite element technique. A general a priori error estimate based on entropy inequal...

The disturbance on the free surface of the liquid when the liquid-filled tanks are excited is called sloshing. This paper examines the nonlinear sloshing response of the liquid free surface in partially filled two-dimensional rectangular tanks using finite element method. The liquid is assumed to be inviscid, irrotational, and incompressible; fully nonlinear potential wave theory is considered ...

In this paper we study finite element methods for a class of problems of nonlinear elastodynamics. We discretize the equations in space using Galerkin methods. For the temporal discretization, the construction of our schemes is based on rational approximations of cosx and ex . We analyze semidiscrete as well as secondand fourth-order accurate in time fully discrete methods for the approximation...
