On the stability of mixed polygonal finite element formulations in nonlinear analysis
Abstract This article discusses the accuracy and stability of the pressure field in nonlinear mixed displacement‐pressure finite element formulations in solid mechanics. We focus on two‐dimensional mixed polygonal finite element formulations with linear displacement and constant pressure approximations in particular.

Comparative Study of Algorithms for the Conversion From Surface Mesh Models to Volume Mesh Models
The study delves into the performance of different algorithms in the process of converting surface mesh models (SMMs) into volume mesh models (VMMs) required for finite element analysis. The experiment compared the Initial mesh, Delaunay, Frontal, and HXT algorithms, analyzing their central processing unit (CPU) runtime, node count, element count, and ...
