Generating finite element method in constructing complex-shaped multigrid finite elements [PDF]
The calculations of three-dimensional composite bodies based on the finite element method with allowance for their structure and complex shape come down to constructing high-dimension discrete models.

In this paper, we present an automatic procedure that enhances the solution accuracy of edge-based smoothed 2D solid finite elements (three-node triangular and four-node quadrilateral elements).

Hanging nodes for higher-order Lagrange finite elements
We report in this work an extension of hanging nodes theory for Lagrange elements to higher-order elements. Concrete values of the constants that appear in the applications are also provided.

Stochastic finite elements: Where is the physics? [PDF]
The micromechanics based on the Hill-Mandel condition indicates that the majority of stochastic finite element methods hinge on random field (RF) models of material properties (such as Hooke’s law) having no physical content, or even at odds with ...

Sustainable development encourages the construction of buildings based from local raw materials because they are ecological, renewable, available, low energy consumption, less costly, low pollution, and therefore without risk to human health.

Real Elements and p-Nilpotence of Finite Groups [PDF]
Our first main result proves that every element of order 4 of a Sylow 2-subgroup S of a minimal non-2-nilpotent group G, is a real element of S. This allows to give a character-free proof of a theorem due to Isaacs and Navarro (see [9, Theorem B]). As an

Construction of Supplemental Functions for Direct Serendipity and Mixed Finite Elements on Polygons
New families of direct serendipity and direct mixed finite elements on general planar, strictly convex polygons were recently defined by the authors. The finite elements of index r are H1 and H(div) conforming, respectively, and approximate optimally to ...

Finite element formulations for 3D convex polyhedra in nonlinear continuum mechanics
In this paper, we present finite element formulations for general three-dimensional convex polyhedra for use in a common finite element framework that are well suited, e.g., for modeling complex granular materials and for mesh refinements.

Equilibrium finite elements for plane problems of the elasticity theory [PDF]
The work is devoted to the finite elements construction, based on the stresses approximation, for solving plane problems of the elasticity theory. Such elements are alternative to existing finite elements obtained using displacements approximation ...

A general approach to transforming finite elements [PDF]
The use of a reference element on which a finite element basis is constructed once and mapped to each cell in a mesh greatly expedites the structure and efficiency of finite element codes.
