The Newmark method for the numerical integration of second order equations has been extensively used and studied along the past fifty years for structural dynamics and various fields of mechanical engineering. Easy implementation and nice properties of this method and its derivatives for linear problems are appreciated but the main drawback is the treatment of discontinuities. Zienkiewicz proposed an approach using finite element concept in time, which allows a new look at the Newmark method. The idea of this paper is to propose, thanks to this approach, the use of a time partition of the unity method denoted Time Extended Finite Element Method (TX‐FEM) for improved numerical simulations of time discontinuities. An enriched basis of shape functions in time is used to capture with a good accuracy the non‐polynomial part of the solution. This formulation allows a suitable form of the time‐stepping formulae to study stability and energy conservation. The case of an enrichment with the Heaviside function is developed and can be seen as an alternative approach to time discontinuous Galerkin method (T‐DGM), stability and accuracy properties of which can be derived from those of the TX‐FEM. Then Space and Time X‐FEM (STX‐FEM) are combined to obtain a unified space–time discretization. This combined STX‐FEM appears to be a suitable technique for space–time discontinuous problems like dynamic crack propagation or other applications involving moving discontinuities.

Interface capturing methods using enriched finite element formulations are well suited for solving multimaterial transport problems that contain weak or strong discontinuities. The conformal decomposition FEM decomposes multimaterial elements of a non‐conforming background mesh into sub‐elements that conform to material interfaces captured using a level set method. As the interface evolves, interfacial nodes move, and background nodes may change material. The present work describes approaches for handling moving interfaces in the context of the conformal decomposition FEM for both weakly and strongly discontinuous fields. Dynamic discretization methods using extrapolation and moving mesh approaches are considered and developed with first‐order and second‐order time integration methods. The moving mesh approach is demonstrated to be a stable method that preserves both weak and strong discontinuities on a variety of one‐dimensional and two‐dimensional test problems, while achieving the expected second‐order error convergence rate in space and time.

The extended finite element method (X‐FEM) has been developed to minimize requirements on the mesh design in a problem with a displacement discontinuity. This advantage, however, still remains limited to the small deformation hypothesis when considering sliding discontinuities. The approach presented in this paper proposes to couple X‐FEM with a Lagrangian large sliding frictionless contact algorithm. A new hybrid X‐FEM contact element was developed with a contact search algorithm allowing for an update of contacting surfaces pairing. The stability of the contact formulation is ensured by an algorithm for fulfilling Ladyzhenskaya‐Babuska‐Brezzi (LBB) condition. Several 2D simple examples are presented in this paper in order to prove its efficiency and stability. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Level set methods have recently gained much popularity to capture discontinuities, including their possible propagation. Typically, the partial differential equations that arise in level set methods, in particular the Hamilton–Jacobi equation, are solved by finite difference methods. However, finite difference methods are less suited for irregular domains. Moreover, it seems slightly awkward to use finite differences for the capturing of a discontinuity, while in a subsequent stress analysis finite elements are normally used. For this reason, we here present a finite element approach to solving the governing equations of level set methods. After a review of the governing equations, the initialization of the level sets, the discretization on a finite domain, and the stabilization of the resulting finite element method will be discussed. Special attention will be given to the proper treatment of the internal boundary condition, which is achieved by exploiting the partition‐of‐unity property of finite element shape functions. Finally, a quantitative analysis including accuracy analysis is given for a one‐dimensional example and a qualitative example is given for a two‐dimensional case with a curved discontinuity.

We introduce a new methodology for modeling problems with both weak and strong discontinuities independently of the finite element discretization. At variance with the eXtended/Generalized Finite Element Method (X/GFEM), the new method, named the Discontinuity‐Enriched Finite Element Method (DE‐FEM), adds enriched degrees of freedom only to nodes created at the intersection between a discontinuity and edges of elements in the mesh. Although general, the method is demonstrated in the context of fracture mechanics, and its versatility is illustrated with a set of traction‐free and cohesive crack examples. We show that DE‐FEM recovers the same rate of convergence as the standard FEM with matching meshes, and we also compare the new approach to X/GFEM. 相似文献

This paper investigates the accuracy of high-order extended finite element methods (XFEMs) for the solution of discontinuous problems with both straight and curved weak discontinuities in two dimensions. The modified XFEM, a specific form of the stable generalised finite element method, is found to offer advantages in cost and complexity over other approaches, but suffers from suboptimal rates of convergence due to spurious higher-order contributions to the approximation space. An improved modified XFEM is presented, with basis functions “corrected” by projecting out higher-order contributions that cannot be represented by the standard finite element basis. The resulting corrections are independent of the equations being solved and need be pre-computed only once for geometric elements of a given order. An accurate numerical integration scheme that correctly integrates functions with curved discontinuities is also presented. Optimal rates of convergence are then recovered for Poisson problems with both straight and quadratically curved discontinuities for approximations up to order p ≤ 4. These are the first truly optimal convergence results achieved using the XFEM for a curved weak discontinuity and are also the first optimally convergent results achieved using the modified XFEM for any problem with approximations of order p>1. Almost optimal rates of convergence are recovered for an elastic problem with a circular weak discontinuity for approximations up to order p ≤ 4. 相似文献

A hybrid numerical scheme based on finite element and finite volume methods is developed to solve shallow water equations. In the recent past, we introduced a series of hybrid methods to solve incompressible low and high Reynolds number flows for single and two‐fluid flow problems. The present work extends the application of hybrid method to shallow water equations. In our hybrid shallow water flow solver, we write the governing equations in non‐conservation form and solve the non‐linear wave equation using finite element method with linear interpolation functions in space. On the other hand, the momentum equation is solved with highly accurate cell‐center finite volume method. Our hybrid numerical scheme is truly a segregated method with primitive variables stored and solved at both node and element centers. To enhance the stability of the hybrid method around discontinuities, we introduce a new shock capturing which will act only around sharp interfaces without sacrificing the accuracy elsewhere. Matrix‐free GMRES iterative solvers are used to solve both the wave and momentum equations in finite element and finite volume schemes. Several test problems are presented to demonstrate the robustness and applicability of the numerical method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The paper introduces a weighted residual‐based approach for the numerical investigation of the interaction of fluid flow and thin flexible structures. The presented method enables one to treat strongly coupled systems involving large structural motion and deformation of multiple‐flow‐immersed solid objects. The fluid flow is described by the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The current configuration of the thin structure of linear elastic material with non‐linear kinematics is mapped to the flow using the zero iso‐contour of an updated level set function. The formulation of fluid, structure and coupling conditions uniformly uses velocities as unknowns. The integration of the weak form is performed on a space–time finite element discretization of the domain. Interfacial constraints of the multi‐field problem are ensured by distributed Lagrange multipliers. The proposed formulation and discretization techniques lead to a monolithic algebraic system, well suited for strongly coupled fluid–structure systems. Embedding a thin structure into a flow results in non‐smooth fields for the fluid. Based on the concept of the extended finite element method, the space–time approximations of fluid pressure and velocity are properly enriched to capture weakly and strongly discontinuous solutions. This leads to the present enriched space–time (EST) method. Numerical examples of fluid–structure interaction show the eligibility of the developed numerical approach in order to describe the behavior of such coupled systems. The test cases demonstrate the application of the proposed technique to problems where mesh moving strategies often fail. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

We construct finite volume schemes of very high order of accuracy in space and time for solving the nonlinear Richards equation (RE). The general scheme is based on a three‐stage predictor–corrector procedure. First, a high‐order weighted essentially non‐oscillatory (WENO) reconstruction procedure is applied to the cell averages at the current time level to guarantee monotonicity in the presence of steep gradients. Second, the temporal evolution of the WENO reconstruction polynomials is computed in a predictor stage by using a global weak form of the governing equations. A global space–time DG FEM is used to obtain a scheme without the parabolic time‐step restriction caused by the presence of the diffusion term in the RE. The resulting nonlinear algebraic system is solved by a Newton–Krylov method, where the generalized minimal residual method algorithm of Saad and Schulz is used to solve the linear subsystems. Finally, as a third step, the cell averages of the finite volume method are updated using a one‐step scheme, on the basis of the solution calculated previously in the space–time predictor stage. Our scheme is validated against analytical, experimental, and other numerical reference solutions in four test cases. A numerical convergence study performed allows us to show that the proposed novel scheme is high order accurate in space and time. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The level set equation is a non‐linear advection equation, and standard finite‐element and finite‐difference strategies typically employ spatial stabilization techniques to suppress spurious oscillations in the numerical solution. We recast the level set equation in a simpler form by assuming that the level set function remains a signed distance to the front/interface being captured. As with the original level set equation, the use of an extensional velocity helps maintain this signed‐distance function. For some interface‐evolution problems, this approach reduces the original level set equation to an ordinary differential equation that is almost trivial to solve. Further, we find that sufficient accuracy is available through a standard Galerkin formulation without any stabilization or discontinuity‐capturing terms. Several numerical experiments are conducted to assess the ability of the proposed assumed‐gradient level set method to capture the correct solution, particularly in the presence of discontinuities in the extensional velocity or level‐set gradient. We examine the convergence properties of the method and its performance in problems where the simplified level set equation takes the form of a Hamilton–Jacobi equation with convex/non‐convex Hamiltonian. Importantly, discretizations based on structured and unstructured finite‐element meshes of bilinear quadrilateral and linear triangular elements are shown to perform equally well.

This study concerns the development of a coupled finite element–boundary element analysis method for the solution of thermoelastic stresses in a domain composed of dissimilar materials with geometric discontinuities. The continuity of displacement and traction components is enforced directly along the interfaces between different material regions of the domain. The presence of material and geometric discontinuities are included in the formulation explicitly. The unknown interface traction components are expressed in terms of unknown interface displacement components by using the boundary element method for each material region of the domain. Enforcing the continuity conditions leads to a final system of equations containing unknown interface displacement components only. With the solution of interface displacement components, each region has a complete set of boundary conditions, thus leading to the solution of the remaining unknown boundary quantities. The concepts developed for the BEM formulation of a domain with dissimilar regions is employed in the finite element–boundary element coupling procedure. Along the common boundaries of FEM–BEM regions, stresses from specific BEM regions are first expressed in terms of interface displacements, then integrated and lumped at the nodal points of the common FEM–BEM boundary so that they are treated as boundary conditions in the analysis of FEM regions along the common FEM–BEM boundary.

A finite element method for axisymmetric two‐phase flow problems is presented. The method uses an enriched finite element formulation, in which the interface can move arbitrarily through the mesh without remeshing. The enrichment is implemented by the extended finite element method (X‐FEM) which models the discontinuity in the velocity gradient at the interface by a local partition of unity. It provides an accurate representation of the velocity field at interfaces on an Eulerian grid that is not conformal to the weak discontinuity. The interface is represented by a level set which is also used in the construction of the element enrichment. Surface tension effects are considered and the interface curvature is computed from the level set field. The method is demonstrated by several examples. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider linear and non‐linear space–time fractional reaction–diffusion equations (STFRDE) on a finite domain. The equations are obtained from standard reaction–diffusion equations by replacing a second‐order space derivative by a fractional derivative of order β∈(1, 2], and a first‐order time derivative by a fractional derivative of order α∈(0, 1]. We use the Adomian decomposition method to construct explicit solutions of the linear and non‐linear STFRDE. Finally, some examples are given. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A finite element formulation for refined linear analysis of multilayered shell structures of moderate thickness is presented. An underlying shell model is a direct extension of the first‐order shear‐deformation theory of Reissner–Mindlin type. A refined theory with seven unknown kinematic fields is developed: (i) by introducing an assumption of a zig‐zag (i.e. layer‐wise linear) variation of displacement field through the thickness, and (ii) by assuming an independent transverse shear stress fields in each layer in the framework of Reissner's mixed variational principle. The introduced transverse shear stress unknowns are eliminated on the cross‐section level. At this process, the interlaminar equilibrium conditions (i.e. the interlaminar shear stress continuity conditions) are imposed. As a result, the weak form of constitutive equations (the so‐called weak form of Hooke's law) is obtained for the transverse strains–transverse stress resultants relation. A finite element approximation is based on the four‐noded isoparametric element. To eliminate the shear locking effect, the assumed strain variational concept is used. Performance of the derived finite element is illustrated with some numerical examples. The results are compared with the exact three‐dimensional solutions, as well as with the analytical and numerical solutions obtained by the classical, the first‐order and some representative refined models.

This paper is devoted to the imposition of Dirichlet‐type conditions within the extended finite element method (X‐FEM). This method allows one to easily model surfaces of discontinuity or domain boundaries on a mesh not necessarily conforming to these surfaces. Imposing Neumann boundary conditions on boundaries running through the elements is straightforward and does preserve the optimal rate of convergence of the background mesh (observed numerically in earlier papers). On the contrary, much less work has been devoted to Dirichlet boundary conditions for the X‐FEM (or the limiting case of stiff boundary conditions). In this paper, we introduce a strategy to impose Dirichlet boundary conditions while preserving the optimal rate of convergence. The key aspect is the construction of the correct Lagrange multiplier space on the boundary. As an application, we suggest to use this new approach to impose precisely zero pressure on the moving resin front in resin transfer moulding (RTM) process while avoiding remeshing. The case of inner conditions is also discussed as well as two important practical cases: material interfaces and phase‐transformation front capturing. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

This paper presents an augmentation method that enables bilinear finite elements to efficiently and accurately account for arbitrary, multiple intra‐elemental discontinuities in 2D solids. The augmented finite element method (A‐FEM) employs four internal nodes to account for the crack displacements due to an intra‐elemental weak or strong discontinuity, and it permits repeated elemental augmentation to include multiple interactive cracks. It thus enables a unified treatment of damage evolution from a weak discontinuity to a strong discontinuity, and to multiple interactive cohesive cracks, all within a single bilinear element that employs standard external nodal DoFs only. A novel elemental condensation procedure has been developed to solve the internal nodal DoFs as functions of the external nodal DoFs for any irreversible, piece‐wise linear cohesive laws. It leads to a fully condensed elemental equilibrium equation with mathematical exactness, eliminating the need for nonlinear equilibrium iterations at elemental level. The new A‐FEM's high‐fidelity simulation capabilities to interactive cohesive crack formation and propagation in homogeneous, and heterogeneous solids have been demonstrated through several challenging numerical examples. It is shown that the proposed A‐FEM, empowered by the new elemental condensation procedure, is numerically very efficient, accurate, and robust. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A numerical technique for non‐planar three‐dimensional linear elastic crack growth simulations is proposed. This technique couples the extended finite element method (X‐FEM) and the fast marching method (FMM). In crack modeling using X‐FEM, the framework of partition of unity is used to enrich the standard finite element approximation by a discontinuous function and the two‐dimensional asymptotic crack‐tip displacement fields. The initial crack geometry is represented by two level set functions, and subsequently signed distance functions are used to maintain the location of the crack and to compute the enrichment functions that appear in the displacement approximation. Crack modeling is performed without the need to mesh the crack, and crack propagation is simulated without remeshing. Crack growth is conducted using FMM; unlike a level set formulation for interface capturing, no iterations nor any time step restrictions are imposed in the FMM. Planar and non‐planar quasi‐static crack growth simulations are presented to demonstrate the robustness and versatility of the proposed technique. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

A modified version of an exact Non‐reflecting Boundary Condition (NRBC) first derived by Grote and Keller is implemented in a finite element formulation for the scalar wave equation. The NRBC annihilate the first N wave harmonics on a spherical truncation boundary, and may be viewed as an extension of the second‐order local boundary condition derived by Bayliss and Turkel. Two alternative finite element formulations are given. In the first, the boundary operator is implemented directly as a ‘natural’ boundary condition in the weak form of the initial–boundary value problem. In the second, the operator is implemented indirectly by introducing auxiliary variables on the truncation boundary. Several versions of implicit and explicit time‐integration schemes are presented for solution of the finite element semidiscrete equations concurrently with the first‐order differential equations associated with the NRBC and an auxiliary variable. Numerical studies are performed to assess the accuracy and convergence properties of the NRBC when implemented in the finite element method. The results demonstrate that the finite element formulation of the (modified) NRBC is remarkably robust, and highly accurate. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In this paper, a two‐dimensional displacement‐based meshfree‐enriched FEM (ME‐FEM) is presented for the linear analysis of compressible and near‐incompressible planar elasticity. The ME‐FEM element is established by injecting a first‐order convex meshfree approximation into a low‐order finite element with an additional node. The convex meshfree approximation is constructed using the generalized meshfree approximation method and it possesses the Kronecker‐delta property on the element boundaries. The gradient matrix of ME‐FEM element satisfies the integration constraint for nodal integration and the resultant ME‐FEM formulation is shown to pass the constant stress test for the compressible media. The ME‐FEM interpolation is an element‐wise meshfree interpolation and is proven to be discrete divergence‐free in the incompressible limit. To prevent possible pressure oscillation in the near‐incompressible problems, an area‐weighted strain smoothing scheme incorporated with the divergence‐free ME‐FEM interpolation is introduced to provide the smoothing on strains and pressure. With this smoothed strain field, the discrete equations are derived based on a modified Hu–Washizu variational principle. Several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for the compressible and near‐incompressible problems. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

The paper introduces a methodology for numerical simulation of landslides experiencing considerable deformations and topological changes. Within an interface capturing approach, all interfaces are implicitly described by specifically defined level‐set functions allowing arbitrarily evolving complex topologies. The transient interface evolution is obtained by solving the level‐set equation driven by the physical velocity field for all three level‐set functions in a block Jacobi approach. The three boundary‐coupled fluid‐like continua involved are modeled as incompressible, governed by a generalized non‐Newtonian material law taking into account capillary pressure at moving fluid–fluid interfaces. The weighted residual formulation of the level‐set equations and the fluid equations is discretized with finite elements in space and time using velocity and pressure as unknown variables. Non‐smooth solution characteristics are represented by enriched approximations to fluid velocity (weak discontinuity) and fluid pressure (strong discontinuity). Special attention is given to the construction of enriched approximations for elements containing evolving triple junctions. Numerical examples of three‐fluid tank sloshing and air–water‐liquefied soil landslides demonstrate the potential and applicability of the method in geotechnical investigations.
