Summary A general technique to develop arbitrary‐sided polygonal elements based on the scaled boundary finite element method is presented. Shape functions are derived from the solution of the Poisson's equation in contrast to the well‐known Laplace shape functions that are only linearly complete.

Maximum Likelihood Coordinates
Abstract Any point inside a d‐dimensional simplex can be expressed in a unique way as a convex combination of the simplex's vertices, and the coefficients of this combination are called the barycentric coordinates of the point. The idea of barycentric coordinates extends to general polytopes with n vertices, but they are no longer unique if n > d+1 ...

Abstract This paper considers numerical modeling of intensive heating induced thermo‐mechanical failure processes in granitic rock. For this end, a numerical method based on polygonal finite elements and a damage‐plasticity model is developed. A staggered scheme is employed to solve the global thermo‐mechanical problem. The rock failure is described by

The DOE E3SM Coupled Model Version 1: Overview and Evaluation at Standard Resolution
Abstract This work documents the first version of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) new Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SMv1). We focus on the standard resolution of the fully coupled physical model designed to address DOE mission‐relevant water cycle questions. Its components include atmosphere and land (110‐km grid spacing), ocean and sea ice

Fit Evaluation during Repetition Interaction in Garment Pattern Design
We present a novel virtual try‐on solution for fitting evaluation and pattern modification to design various types of garment and speed up the garment design process. In the phase of fit evaluation, we propose a method for producing two‐dimensional (2D) color maps by comparing a 2D triangle mesh panel garment and a 3D triangle mesh garment, which can ...

In the original discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) method, the complete first‐order displacement function is used to describe block movement and deformation, which induce constant stress and strain throughout the block. To achieve a more detailed stress distribution, Wachspress interpolation displacement function is employed to express the ...

A Brief Review on Polygonal/Polyhedral Finite Element Methods
This paper provides brief review on polygonal/polyhedral finite elements. Various techniques, together with their advantages and disadvantages, are listed. A comparison of various techniques with the recently proposed Virtual Node Polyhedral Element (VPHE) is also provided. This review would help the readers to understand the various techniques used in

A Novel Virtual Node Hexahedral Element with Exact Integration and Octree Meshing
The method presented in this work is a 3‐dimensional polyhedral finite element (3D PFEM) based on virtual node method. Novel virtual node polyhedral elements (termed as VPHE) are developed here, particularly virtual node hexahedral element (termed as VHE). Stiffness matrices of these polyhedral elements consist of simple polynomials.

A Novel Shape‐Free Plane Quadratic Polygonal Hybrid Stress‐Function Element
A novel plane quadratic shape‐free hybrid stress‐function (HS‐F) polygonal element is developed by employing the principle of minimum complementary energy and the fundamental analytical solutions of the Airy stress function. Without construction of displacement interpolation function, the formulations of the new model are much simpler than those of the

Toric amplitudes and universal adjoints
Abstract A toric amplitude is a rational function associated with a simplicial polyhedral fan. The definition is inspired by scattering amplitudes in particle physics. We prove algebraic properties of such amplitudes and study the geometry of their zero loci. These hypersurfaces play the role of Warren's adjoint via a dual volume interpretation.
