© 2020 Elsevier B.V. The numerical approximation of hyperelasticity must address nonlinear constitutive laws, geometric nonlinearities associated with large strains and deformations, the imposition of the incompressibility of the solid, and the solution of large linear systems arising from the discretisation of 3D problems in complex geometries. We adapt the three-field formulation for nearly incompressible hyperelasticity introduced in Chavan et al. (2007) to the fully incompressible case. The mixed formulation is of Hu¿Washizu type and it differs from other approaches in that we use the Kirchhoff stress, displacement, and pressure as principal unknowns. We also discuss the solvability of the linearised problem restricted to neo-Hookean materials, illustrating the interplay between the coupling blocks. We construct a family of mixed finite element schemes (with different polynomial degrees) for simplicial meshes and verify its error decay through computational tests. We also propose a new augmented Lagrangian preconditioner that improves convergence properties of iterative solvers. The numerical performance of the family of mixed methods is assessed with benchmark solutions, and the applicability of the formulation is further tested in a model of cardiac biomechanics using orthotropic strain energy densities. The proposed methods are advantageous in terms of physical fidelity (as the Kirchhoff stress can be approximated with arbitrary accuracy and no locking is observed) and convergence (the discretisation and the preconditioners are robust and computationally efficient, and they compare favourably at least with respect to classical displacement¿pressure schemes).

© 2021 by the authors. The main objective of the current work is to determine meshless methods using the radial basis function (RBF) approach to estimate the elastic strain field from energy-resolved neutron imaging. To this end, we first discretize the longitudinal ray transformation with RBF methods to give us an unconstrained optimization problem. This discretization is then transformed into a constrained optimization problem by adding equilibrium conditions to ensure uniqueness. The efficiency and accuracy of this approach are investigated for the situation of 2D plane stress. In addition, comparisons are made between the results obtained with RBF collocation, finite-element (FEM) and analytical solution methods for test problems. The method is then applied to experimentally measured continuous and discontinuous strain fields using steel samples for an offset ring-and-plug and crushed ring, respectively.

© 2020 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. The motion of a flexible elastic plate under wave action is simulated, and the well¿known phenomena of overwash is investigated. The fluid motion is modelled by smoothed particle hydrodynamics, a mesh-free solution method which, while computationally demanding, is flexible and able to simulate complex fluid flows. The freely floating plate is modelled using linear thin plate elasticity plus the nonlinear rigid body motions. This assumption limits the elastic plate motion to be small but is valid for many cases both in geophysics and in the laboratory. The principal conclusion is that the inclusion of flexural motion causes significantly less overwash than that which occurs for a rigid plate.

© 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC We use a three-field mixed formulation of the Poisson equation to develop a mixed finite element method using Raviart¿Thomas elements. We use a locally constructed biorthogonal system for Raviart¿Thomas finite elements to improve the computational efficiency of the approach. We analyze the existence, uniqueness and stability of the discrete problem and show an a priori error estimate. We also develop an a posteriori error estimate for our formulation. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the performance of our approach.

© The authors 2017. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. All rights reserved. We consider a saddle-point formulation for a sixth-order partial differential equation and its finite element approximation, for two sets of boundary conditions. We follow the Ciarlet-Raviart formulation for the biharmonic problem to formulate our saddle-point problem and the finite element method. The new formulation allows us to use the H 1 -conforming Lagrange finite element spaces to approximate the solution. We prove a priori error estimates for our approach. Numerical results are presented for linear and quadratic finite element methods.

© 2018 Elsevier Ltd The frequency-domain and time-domain response of a floating ice shelf to wave forcing are calculated using the finite element method. The boundary conditions at the front of the ice shelf, coupling it to the surrounding fluid, are written as a special non-local linear operator with forcing. This operator allows the computational domain to be restricted to the water cavity beneath the ice shelf. The ice shelf motion is expanded using the in vacuo elastic modes and the method of added mass and damping, commonly used in the hydroelasticity of ships, is employed. The ice shelf is assumed to be of constant thickness while the fluid domain is allowed to vary. The analysis is extended from the frequency domain to the time domain, and the resonant behaviour of the system is studied. It is shown that shelf submergence affects the resonant vibration frequency, whereas the corresponding mode shapes are insensitive to the submergence in constant depth. Further, the modes are shown to have a property of increasing node number with increasing frequency.

© 2017 Australian Mathematical Society. An initial-boundary value problem for a time-fractional diffusion equation is discretized in space, using continuous piecewise-linear finite elements on a domain with a re-entrant corner. Known error bounds for the case of a convex domain break down, because the associated Poisson equation is no longer -regular. In particular, the method is no longer second-order accurate if quasi-uniform triangulations are used. We prove that a suitable local mesh refinement about the re-entrant corner restores second-order convergence. In this way, we generalize known results for the classical heat equation.

© 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York. The thin plate spline method is a widely used data fitting technique as it has the ability to smooth noisy data. Here we consider a mixed finite element discretisation of the thin plate spline. By using mixed finite elements the formulation can be defined in-terms of relatively simple stencils, thus resulting in a system that is sparse and whose size only depends linearly on the number of finite element nodes. The mixed formulation is obtained by introducing the gradient of the corresponding function as an additional unknown. The novel approach taken in this paper is to work with a pair of bases for the gradient and the Lagrange multiplier forming a biorthogonal system thus ensuring that the scheme is numerically efficient, and the formulation is stable. Some numerical results are presented to demonstrate the performance of our approach. A preconditioned conjugate gradient method is an efficient solver for the arising linear system of equations.

The finite element method is based on quadrilateral and hexahedral triangulation using primal and dual meshes.

We present two simple finite element methods for the discretization of Reissner-Mindlin plate equations with clamped boundary condition. These finite element methods are based on discrete Lagrange multiplier spaces from mortar finite element techniques. We prove optimal a priori error estimates for both methods. The first approach is based on a so-called standard Lagrange multiplier space for the mortar finite element method, where the Lagrange multiplier basis functions are continuous. The second approach is based on a so-called dual Lagrange multiplier space, where the Lagrange multiplier basis functions are discontinuous. The advantage of using the second approach is that easy static condensation of degrees of freedom corresponding to the Lagrange multiplier is possibly leading to a symmetric positive definite formulation. © 2013 IMACS.

We consider a mixed finite element method based on simplicial triangulations for a three-field formulation of linear elasticity. The three-field formulation is based on three unknowns: displacement, stress and strain. In order to obtain an efficient discretization scheme, we use a pair of finite element bases forming a biorthogonal system for the strain and stress. The biorthogonality relation allows us to statically condense out the strain and stress from the saddle-point system leading to a symmetric and positive-definite system. The strain and stress can be recovered in a post-processing step simply by inverting a diagonal matrix. Moreover, we show a uniform convergence of the finite element approximation in the incompressible limit. Numerical experiments are presented to support the theoretical results. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

The uniform convergence of finite element approximations based on a modified Hu-Washizu formulation for the nearly incompressible linear elasticity is analyzed. We show the optimal and robust convergence of the displacement-based discrete formulation in the nearly incompressible case with the choice of approximations based on quadrilateral and hexahedral elements. These choices include bases that are well known, as well as newly constructed bases. Starting from a suitable three-field problem, we extend our a-dependent three-field formulation to geometrically nonlinear elasticity with Saint-Venant Kirchhoff law. Additionally, an a-dependent three-field formulation for a general hyperelastic material model is proposed. A range of numerical examples using different material laws for small and large strain elasticity is presented. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
