Discretization Of The Hellinger-Reissner Variational Form Of Linear Elasticity Equations, Kevin A. Sweet
Discretization Of The Hellinger-Reissner Variational Form Of Linear Elasticity Equations, Kevin A. Sweet
REU Final Reports
This paper addresses the derivation of the Hellinger-Reissner Variational Form from the strong form of a system of linear elasticity equations that are used in relation to geological phenomena. The problem is discretized using finite element discretization. This allowed the creation of a program that was used to run tests on various domains. The resultant displacement vectors for tested domains are shown at the end of the paper.
