The adaptive remeshing technique generates small elements around crack tips and large elements in the other regions. The resulting stress intensity factors and simulated crack propagation behavior are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the procedure. Three sample problems of a center cracked plate, a single edge cracked plate and a compact tension specimen, are simulated and their results assessed.展开更多

Based on several basic ingredients, such as quasi-orthogonality, estimator reduction and D6fler marking strategy, convergence of the adaptive finite element methods for the general second-order elliptic partial equations is proved. Our analysis is effective for all conforming Qm elements which covers both the two- and three-dimensional cases in a unified fashion.展开更多

Based on the original algorithm, we propose the notion of removing circle. During the process of triangulation, and the circle dynamically moves, the algorithm which is simple and practical, therefore evidently accelerates the process of searching a new point, while generating a new triangle.
