It leads to high quality local error bounds in three-dimensional fracture mechanics simulation which involves enrichments to solve the singularity in crack tip. This enriched goal-oriented error estimation gives a chance to evaluate this continuum- based shell extended finite element method simulation. With comparisons of reliability to the stress intensity factor calculation in stretching and bending, the accuracy of the continuum-based shell extended finite element method simulation is evaluated, and the reason of error is discussed.展开更多

The model domain is subdivided into unstructured tetrahedral elements that allow for efficient local mesh refinement and flexible description of complex models. The elements that affect the solution at each receiver location are adaptively refined according to a goal-oriented posteriori error estimator using dual-error weighting approach. The FE method with adapting mesh can easily handle such structures at almost any level of complexity. The method is demonstrated on two synthetic resistivity models with analytical solutions and available results from integral equation method, so the errors can be quantified. The applicability of the numerical method is illustrated on a resistivity model with a topographic ridge. Numerical examples show that this method is flexible and accurate for geometrically complex situations.展开更多

It leads to the high quality locM error bounds in the problem of the direct-solution steady-state dynamic analysis with a frequency-domain finite element, which involves the enrichments with plural variable basis functions. The solution of the steady-state dynamic procedure calculates the harmonic response directly in terms of the physical degrees of freedom in the model, which uses the mass, damping, and stiffness matrices of the system. A three-dimensional finite element example is carried out to illustrate the computational procedures.展开更多

In particular, the making of assumptions has had a significant influence on the accuracy of the method, making it mandatory to carry out sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis helps to identify the level of impact the assumptions have on the method. However, sensitivity analysis via FEM can be very challenging. A priori error estimation, an integral part of FEM, is a basic mathematical tool for predicting the accuracy of numerical solutions. By understanding the relationship between the mesh size, the order of basis functions, and the resulting error, practitioners can effectively design and apply FEM to solve complex Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with confidence in the reliability of their results. Thus, the coercive property and A priori error estimation based on the L1 formula on a mesh in time and the Mamadu-Njoseh basis functions in space are investigated for a linearly distributed time-order fractional telegraph equation with restricted initial conditions. For this purpose, we constructed a mathematical proof of the coercive property for the fully discretized scheme. Also, we stated and proved a cardinal theorem for a priori error estimation of the approximate solution for the fully discretized scheme. We noticed the role of the restricted initial conditions imposed on the solution in the analysis of a priori error estimation.展开更多
