Self-Adaptive P-Hierarchical Boundary Elements in Elastostatics

  • Conference paper
Mathematical and Computational Aspects

Part of the book series: Boundary Elements IX ((BOUNDARY,volume 9/1))

Summary

A self-adaptive p-hierarchicaltechnique is developed for boundary element solutions in elastostatics. The hierachical concept is presented. The Somigliana’s identity is used to define the error estimator and the error indicators. An adaptive scheme based on these error parameters is used to analyse some two-dimensional classic problems of the Theory of Elasticity.
