Boundary conditions in the finite element methodA brief description of the finite element method principle is proposed for the mechanics of structures. A simple example of the calculation of the perimeter of a circle is intended to highlight the principle. In case of mechanics purpose, the ...
4.6.1 Standard finite element method Let us first explore a one-dimension simple example using the Galerkin method. It is based on representing the solution as a linear combination of basis functions. Let us start with a simple example. Consider the following one-dimensional Poisson differential ...

elementary functions cannot express the solutions of even simple PDEs on complicated geometries. The finite element method describes a complicated geometry as a collection of subdomains by generating a mesh on the geometry. For example, you can approximate the computational domain Ω with a union of...
1.5.5 Extended finite element approaches Few BBMs (Abdulla et al., 2017; Zhai et al., 2017) have recently been formulated in the context of the extended finite element method (XFEM); see Fig. 1.11. For example, a 3D model with surface-based cohesive response to account for the linear ...

In this contribution we investigate the spectral properties of immersed finite element systems treated by Schwarz-type methods, to establish the suitability of these as smoothers in a multigrid method. Based on this investigation we develop a geometric multigrid preconditioner for immersed finite element...
method to solve a second order PDE, which arises from Saint–Venant’s torsion problem of a cylinder. In this work, Courant systematically used the Rayleigh–Ritz method with a trial function defined on finite triangle subdomains, which is a primitive form of of the finite element method [2]...
