일차원 및 이차원의 단순한 문제에 대하여 계층 요소를 사용한 혼합 차수 유한 요소해의 정확성 및 수렴성을 조사하였다. 이러한 작업은 임의의 차수를 가진 블록들을 조합하여 요소를 구성함으로서 이루어질 수 있다. 블록간의 연결성이 유지될 수 있는 블록의 구성과 요소 생성에 대하여는 코드개발과 관련하여 설명하고 있으며, 서로 다른 차수를 가진 인접 블록간의 해의 연속성에 대하여는 계층 요소의 구성과 관련하여 서술되었다. 수치적 결과는 블록의 차수를 잘 선택함으로서 유한 요소해의 수렴성과 정확성을 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있으며, 고차 요소 영역을 너무 많이 할당하여 선형 요소의 영역이 너무 적을 경우에는 경계 조건에 따라 오차가 내부로 전파됨을 보여준다. 또한 세분화된 요소에 대한 고차 보간의 경우, 해의 수렴성이 저해될 수 있음이 발견되었다.

The p-version of the finite element method is a new approach to finite element analysis in which the partition of the domain is held fixed while the degree p of approximating piecewise polynomials is increased. In this paper, the focus is on computer implementation of a new hierarchic p-convergence shell model based on blend mapping functions. Its rigid-body modes, round-off error, and convergence characteristics are investigated.

A two dimensional hierarchical elements are investigated for a use on the incompressible flow computation. The construction of hierarchical elements are explained through the tensor product of 1-D hierarchical functions, and a systematic treatment of essential boundary values has been developed for the degrees of freedom corresponding to higher order terms. The numerical study for the poisson problem showed that the present scheme can increase the convergence and accuracy of finite element solutions, and can be more efficient than the standard first order with many elements. Also, for Stokes and cavity flow cases, solutions from hierarchical elements showed better resolutions and future promises for higher order solutions.

A mixed degree finite element solutions using hierarchical elements are investigated for convergences on a 2-D simple cases. Elements are generated block by block and each block is assigned an arbitrary solution degree. The numerical study showed that a well constructed blocks can increase the convergence and accuracy of finite element solutions. Also, it has been found that for higher order elements, the convergence trends can be deteriorated for smaller mesh sizes. A procedure for a variable fixed boundary condition has been included.

Beam - and arch-like structures are two-dimensional bodies characterized by the fact of small thickness compared to the length of structures. Owing to this geometric feature, linear displacement approximations through the thickness such as Kirchhoff and Reissner-Mindlin theories which are more accessible one dimensional problems have been used. However, for accurate analysis of the behavior in the regions where the state of stresses is complex, two-dimensional linear elasicity or relatively high order of thickness polynomials is required. This paper analyses accuracy according to the order of thickness polynomials and introduces a technique for model combination for which several different polynomial orders are mixed in a single structure.

The use of a two dimensional hierarchical elements are investigated for the incompressible flow computation. The construction of hierarchical elements are explained by both a geometric configuration and a determination of degrees of freedom. Also a systematic treatment of essential boundary values has been developed for the degrees of freedom corresponding to higher order terms. The numerical study for the poisson problem shows that the computation with hierarchical higher order elements can increase the convergence rate and accuracy of finite element solutions in more efficient manner than the use of standard first order element. for Stokes and Cavity flow cases, a mixed version of penalty function approach has been introduced in connection with the hierarchical elements. Solutions from hierarchical elements showed better resolutions with consistent trends in both mesh shapes and the order of elements.
