    Notes: Abstract The boundary elament method (BEM) for numerical solution to dynamic response of vibration fundation in plane, elastic domains are presented. The dynamic boundary integral equation is derived from the Laplace integral transform of the elestodynamic differential equation. Numerical solution can then be completed by the discrete boundary element in the transform space. Finally, dynamic responsed in time domain will be inverted back from the transform space with the numerical method. Excited harmonic load responses of dynamic rigid foundation are calculated and discussed for different frequencies, Layer depths and foundation embedments. Again, screening of exciting wave is also studied.

    Notes: Abstract The paper discusses error estimation and h-adaptive finite element procedures for elasticity and plasticity problems. For the spatial discretization error, an enhanced Superconvergent Patch Recovery (SPR) technique which improves the error estimation by including fulfillment of equilibrium and boundary conditions in the smoothing procedure is discussed. It is known that an accurate error estimation on an early stage of analysis results in a more rapid and optimal adaptive process. It is shown that node patches and element patches give similar quality of the postprocessed solution. For dynamic problems, a postprocessed type of error estimate and an adaptive procedure for the semidiscrete finite element method are discussed. It is shown that the procedure is able to update the spatial mesh and the time step size so that both spatial and time discretization errors are controlled within specified tolerances. A time-discontinuous Galerkin method for solving the second-order ordinary differential equations in structural dynamics is also presented. Many advantages of the new approach such as high order accuracy, possibility to filter effects of spurious modes and convenience to apply adaptive analysis are observed. For plasticity problems, some recent work that improved plastic strains and plastic localization is discussed.

    Notes: Progressive failure in long natural clay slopes with an underlying weak shear zone is studied. The clay slope is assumed to be elastic-perfectly plastic, whereas the shear zone may have an elastic-plastic strain softening behaviour. The failure will occur due to the development of large shear deformations in the weak zone. The general behaviour, including the possibility of progressive failure, can be studied by the use of a one-dimensional finite element model. Other interesting matters which can be studied are critical load, critical disturbance and critical length of the slope. Numerical examples show the overall behaviour due to different residual shear strengths of the weak layer, end disturbance or change of pore pressure in the weak layer. Although simple, the proposed finite element model provides a practically applicable tool for the prediction of whether progressive failure will occur and in which manner the local failure will propagate.

    Notes: An adaptive procedure for the solution of the generalized linear eigenvalue problem within the hierarchical finite element method is described. The problem of finding for a given discretization, an upper limit eigenvalue that is accurate within a prescribed tolerance is especially studied. An error estimator is presented and a recomputational scheme for improved solutions is proposed. A numerical example is included.

    Notes: This paper discusses the generation of unstructured triangular meshes by the advancing front technique. We also employ the technique to discretize surfaces. A simple and effective algorithm for the specification of element sizes is described. A similar idea is then applied to adaptive remeshing where a completely new mesh is created on the basis of the isolines of a certain important variable. The isolines are obtained from the FE-calculation based on the previous mesh. In this paper, attention is focused on the Poisson's equation. The optimal a priori error estimate for the problem is used to estimate the number of isolines needed for the remeshing. When the estimated error exceeds the tolerance in only a small part of the domain, the adaptive procedure is switched automatically to an adaptive refinement.

    Notes: An adaptive h-version finite element procedure is presented for a 2D elastodynamic transient analysis using direct integration. The procedure modifies the spatial discretization, i.e. the mesh, in time so that the spatial discretization error can be controlled in each time instant. We analyse an a priori error estimate for the total energy which shows that an a posteriori error estimate developed by Zienkiewicz and Zhu for linear elastostatics can reasonably be extended to dynamic transient analysis. For the time integration, both explicit and implicit time integration schemes can be coupled with the procedure. However, the study in this paper is confined to the use of the Newmark scheme. Numerical examples are used to study the performance of the error estimate and to illustrate the adaptive procedure. Obtained numerical results indicate that: (i) the extension of the Zienkiewicz-Zhu estimate to dynamic transient analysis is useful; (ii) the presented adaptive procedure can, in an efficient way, provide a finite element solution with a user-controlled accuracy.

    Notes: In the paper we present a postprocessed type of a posteriori error estimate and a h-version adaptive procedure for the semidiscrete finite element method in dynamic analysis. In space the super-convergent patch recovery technique is used for determining higher-order accurate stresses and, thus, a spatial error estimate. In time a postprocessing technique is developed for obtaining a local error estimate for one step time integration schemes (the HHT-α method). Coupling the error estimate with a mesh generator, a h-version adaptive finite element procedure is presented for two-dimensional dynamic analysis. It updates the spatial mesh and time step automatically so that the discretization errors are controlled within specified tolerances. Numerical studies on different problems are presented for demonstrating the performances of the proposed adaptive procedure.

    Notes: This paper studies a time-discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for structural dynamic problems, by which both displacements and velocities are approximated as piecewise linear functions in the time domain and may be discontinuous at the discrete time levels. A new iterative solution algorithm which involves only one factorization for each fixed time step size and a few iterations at each step is presented for solving the resulted system of coupled equations. By using the jumps of the displacements and the velocities in the total energy norm as error indicators, an adaptive time-stepping procedure for selecting the proper time step size is described. Numerical examples including both single-DOF and multi-DOF problems are used to illustrate the performance of these algorithms. Comparisons with the exact results and/or the results by the Newmark integration scheme are given. It is shown that the time-discontinuous Galerkin finite element method discussed in this study possesses good accuracy (third order) and stability properties, its numerical implementation is not difficult, and the higher computational cost needed in each time step is compensated by use of a larger time step size.

    Notes: Methods to calculate improved postprocessed stresses in elements for the superconvergent patch recovery technique are developed. Based on improved stresses on node patches, the improved element stresses are obtained by using weighting of patch solutions from different patch assembly points. An alternative method is to directly calculate the element stresses for an element patch based on weighted information. Numerical examples show that the performances of the two procedures are of about the same quality.

    Notes: The superconvergent patch recovery (SPR technique) has been shown to be an effective postprocessing procedure in which an improved solution is obtained based on the original finite element solution. The technique was applied to second order problems with success, but the method has not yet been studied on problems posed in mixed form. This paper demonstrates that the technique can be applied to beam and plate bending problems, characterized by fourth order differential equations. The differential equation is here written as two coupled differential equations of second order leading to a mixed finite element procedure based on approximations of the moment and displacement fields. Two elements of mixed type are handled, namely a triangular plate element with constant moment field and a rectangular element with linearly varying bending moments. Numerical examples are given to show that the postprocessed solution is more accurate and has a higher rate of convergence. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
