HP90: a general & flexible fortran 90 hp-FE code
(1997)SAM Research ReportA general 2D-$hp$-adaptive Finite Element (FE) implementation inFortran 90 is described. The implementation is based on an abstractdata structure, which allows to incorporate the full $hp$-adaptivityof triangular and quadrilateral finite elements.The $h$-refinement strategies are based on $h2$-refinement ofquadrilaterals and $h4$-refinement of triangles. For $p$-refinementwe allow the approximation order to vary within any element. The ...Report -
Fully Discrete hp-Finite Elements: Fast Quadrature
(1999)SAM Research ReportA fully discrete hp finite element method is presented. It combines the features of the standard hp finite element method (conforming Galerkin Formulation, variable order quadrature schemes, geometric meshes, static condensation) and of the spectral element method (special shape functions and spectral quadrature techniques). The speed-up (relative to standard hp elements) is analyzed in detail both theoretically and computationally .Report -
The hp-Version of the Streamline Diffusion Finite Element Method in Two Space Dimensions
(1999)SAM Research ReportThe Streamline Diffusion Finite Element Method (SDFEM) for a two dimensional convection-diffusion problem is analyzed in the context of the hp-version of the Finite Element Method (FEM). It is proved that the appropriate choice of the SDFEM parameters leads to stable methods on the class of "boundary layer meshes" which may contain anisotropic needle elements of arbitrarily high aspect ratio. Consistency results show that the use of such ...Report -
Analysis of membrane locking in hp FEM for a cylindrical shell
(1997)SAM Research ReportIn this paper we analyze the performance of the hp-Finite Element Method for a cylindrical shell problem. Our theoretical investigations show that the hp approximation converges exponentially, provided that appropriate boundary layer elements are used. The numerical results illustrate the robustness and exponential convergence properties of the hp-Finite Element Method.Report
