Abstract This paper presents a new numerical integration technique on arbitrary polygonal domains. The domain is mapped conformally to the unit disk using Schwarz–Christoffel mapping and midpoint quadrature rule defined this used. method eliminates need for two‐level isoparametric usually required. Moreover, positivity of Jacobian guaranteed. Numerical results presented few benchmark problems in context finite elements show that proposed yields accurate results. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley...

Abstract By using the strain smoothing technique proposed by Chen et al. ( Comput. Mech. 2000; 25 :137–156) for meshless methods in context of finite element method (FEM), Liu 2007; 39 (6):859–877) developed Smoothed FEM (SFEM). Although SFEM is not yet well understood mathematically, numerical experiments point to potentially useful features this particularly simple modification FEM. To date, has only been investigated bilinear and Wachspress approximations limited linear reproducing...

Summary The strain smoothing technique over higher order elements and arbitrary polytopes yields less accurate solutions than other techniques such as the conventional polygonal finite element method. In this work, we propose a linear scheme that improves accuracy of quadratic approximations convex polytopes. main idea is to subdivide polytope into simplicial subcells use function in each subcell compute strain. This new then used computation stiffness matrix. convergence properties proposed...

Abstract Partition of unity methods, such as the extended finite element method, allows discontinuities to be simulated independently mesh ( Int. J. Numer. Meth. Engng. 1999; 45 :601–620). This eliminates need for aligned with discontinuity or cumbersome re‐meshing, evolves. However, compute stiffness matrix elements intersected by discontinuity, a subdivision into quadrature subcells is commonly adopted. In this paper, we use simple integration technique, proposed polygonal domains Engng...
