    Recent results in the treatment of subgrid scales

    No full text
    In recent times, several attempts have been made to recover some information from the subgrid scales and transfer them to the computational scales. Many stabilising techniques can also be considered as part of this effort. We discuss here a framework in which some of these attempts can be set and analysed

    The three-field formulation for elasticity problems

    No full text
    The three-field decomposition method is particularly suited for decompositions with nonmatching grids. It corresponds to introduce an additional grid (usually uniform, or “easy”) at the interface. The unknown is then represented independently in each subdomain and on the interface. The matching between its value in each subdomain and on the interface is provided by suitable Lagrange multipliers. Here we discuss the main features of the method for a linear three-dimensional elasticity problem, in the simplest case of two subdomains. An easy numerical test to check whether the inf-sup conditions (necessary for the stability) are satisfied is also presented

    No full text
    We develop a locking free nonconforming element for the Reissner-Mindlin plate using Discontinuous Galerkin techniques, and prove optimal error estimates

    Error estimates for the three-field formulation with bubble stabilization

    No full text
    In this paper we prove convergence and error estimates for the so-called 3-field formulation using piecewise linear finite elements stabilized with boundary bubbles. Optimal error bounds are proved in L^2 and in the broken H^1 norm for the internal variable u, and in suitable weighted L^2 norms for the other two interface variable

    A minimal stabilisation procedure for mixed finite element methods.

    No full text
    Stabilisation methods are often used to circumvent the difficulties associated with the stability of mixed finite element methods. Stabilisation however also means an excessive amount of dissipation or the loss of nice conservation properties. It would thus be desirable to reduce these disadvantages to a minimum. We present a general framework, not restricted to mixed methods, that permits to introduce a minimal stabilising term and hence a minimal perturbation with respect to the original problem. To do so, we rely on the fact that some part of the problem is stable and should not be modified. Sections 2 and 3 present the method in an abstract framework. Section 4 and 5 present two classes of stabilisations for the inf-sup condition in mixed problems. We present many examples, most arising from the discretisation of flow problems. Section 6 presents examples in which the stabilising terms is introduced to cure coercivity problems
