Higher Order Elements by Delaunay Triangulation

드로네이기법에 의한 고차 유한요소 생성

  • Published : 1996.12.01

Abstract

Delaunay triangulation is a very powerful method of mesh generation for its versatility such as handling complex geometries, element density control, and local/global remeshing capability, The limit of generating simplex elements(3-node elements in 2-D) only is resolved by adding generation module of 6-node quadratic elements. Since proposed adjacency does not change from 3-node element mesh to 6-node mesh, generation module can utilize the original simplex element generator. Therefore, versatility of the Delaunay triangulation is preserved. A simple upsetting problem is employed to show the possibility of the algorithm.

드로네이 요소생성기법은 모델링 영역의 모양에 구애받지 않으면서 요소의 크기제어, 재편성, 국지요소생성 등에 있어서 탁월한 기능을 보여주고 있다. 그러나 생성되는 요소가 선형삼각형요소임으로해서 비압축성 또는 대변위거동의 근사나 복잡한 형상의 영역의 기하학적 근사에 한계를 갖고 있다. 이를 보완하기 위해 기제시된 드로네이 요소생성 알고리즘을 바탕으로한 6절점 삼각요소 생성알고리즘을 제시하여 본 기법의 완성도를 높이고 이를 성형문제에 적용해 보였다.
