  • Adaptive finite element analysis, which its solution error meets with the user defined allowable error, is recently used far improving reliability of finite element analysis results. This adaptive analysis is composed of two procedures; one is the error estimation of an analysis result and another is the reconstruction of finite elements. In the rp-method, an element size is controlled by relocating of nodal positions(r-method) and the order of an element shape function is determined by the hierarchical polynomial(p-method) corresponding to the element solution error. In order to show the effectiveness and accuracy of the suggested rp-method, various numerical examples were analyzed and these analysis results were examined by comparing with those obtained by the existed methods. As a result of this study, following conclusions are obtained. (1) rp-method is more accurate and effective than the r- and p-method. (2) The solution convergency of the rp-method is controlled by means of the iterative calculation numbers of the r- and p- method each other.

  • We investigate the error estimates of the h and p versions of the finite element method for an elliptic problems. We present theoretical results showing the p version gives results which are not worse than those obtained by the h version in the finite element method.

  • AILU type preconditioners for a two-dimensional combined P2P1 finite element formulation of the interaction of rigid cylinder with incompressible fluid flow have been devised and tested by solving fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. The FSI code simulating the interaction of a rigid cylinder with an unsteady flow is based on P2P1 mixed finite element formulation coupled with combined formulation. Four different preconditioners were devised for the two-dimensional combined P2P1 finite element formulation extending the idea of Nam et al., which was proposed for the preconditioning of a P2P1 mixed finite element formulation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. It was found that PC-III or PC-IV among them perform well with respect to computational memory and convergence rate for some bench-mark problems.

  • During recent years, a great deal of interest has emerged on the use of adaptive approaches and a posteriori estimates in finite element method. The results are intended to be used to improve the quality of finite element solution by changing the location of the nodes within a fixed number of degrees of freedom-so called r method-, and by increasing the order of polynomial approximation with the new degrees of freedom-p method. This paper deals with error analysis that contains the basic theory and method of deriving error estimates and adaptive processes applied to finite element solutions underlying the rpm method that is the combination of r and p method of finite element. It is shown that we can obtain more accurate solution by applying the method to the 2-dimensional heat transfer problem.

  • We analyze the error in the p version of the of the finite element method when the effect of the quadrature error is taken in the load vector. We briefly study some results on the $H^{1}$ norm error and present some new results for the error in the $L^{2}$ norm. We inves-tigate the quadrature error due to the numerical integration of the right hand side We present theoretical and computational examples showing the sharpness of our results.

  • In this paper, finite volume element methods for nonlinear parabolic integrodifferential problems are proposed and analyzed. The optimal error estimates in $L^p\;and\;W^{1,p}\;(2\;{\leq}\;p\;{\leq}\;{\infty})$ as well as some superconvergence estimates in $W^{1,p}\;(2\;{\leq}\;p\;{\leq}\;{\infty})$ are obtained. The main results in this paper perfect the theory of FVE methods.

  • We analyze a posteriori error estimator for the conforming P2 finite element on triangular meshes which is based on the solution of local Neumann problems. This error estimator extends the one for the conforming P1 finite element proposed in [4]. We prove that it is asymptotically exact for the Poisson equation when the underlying triangulations are mildly structured and the solution is smooth enough.
