This work comprises a detailed theoretical and computational study of the boundary value problem for transversely isotropic linear elastic bodies. General conditions for well-posedness are derived in terms of the material parameters. The discrete form of the displacement problem is formulated for conforming finite element approximations. The error estimate reveals that anisotropy can play a role in minimizing or even eliminating locking behaviour, for moderate values of the ratio of Youngs moduli in the fibre and transverse directions. In addition to the standard conforming approximation an alternative formulation, involving under-integration of the volumetric and extensional terms in the weak formulation, is considered. The latter is equivalent to either a mixed or a perturbed Lagrangian formulation, analogously to the well-known situation for the volumetric term. A set of numerical examples confirms the locking-free behaviour in the near-incompressible limit of the standard formulation with moderate anisotropy, with locking behaviour being clearly evident in the case of near-inextensibility. On the other hand, under-integration of the extensional term leads to extensional locking-free behaviour, with convergence at superlinear rates.

In this paper, we study an adaptive finite element method for a class of a nonlinear eigenvalue problems that may be of nonconvex energy functional and consider its applications to quantum chemistry. We prove the convergence of adaptive finite element approximations and present several numerical examples of micro-structure of matter calculations that support our theory.
This work proposes a new stabilized $P_1times P_0$ finite element method for solving the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations. The numerical scheme is based on a reduced Bernardi--Raugel element with statically condensed face bubbles and is pressure-robust in the small viscosity regime. For the Stokes problem, an error estimate uniform with respect to the kinematic viscosity is shown. For the Navier--Stokes equation, the nonlinear convection term is discretized using an edge-averaged finite element method. In comparison with classical schemes, the proposed method does not require tuning of parameters and is validated for competitiveness on several benchmark problems in 2 and 3 dimensional space.
Finite element approximations of minimal surface are not always precise. They can even sometimes completely collapse. In this paper, we provide a simple and inexpensive method, in terms of computational cost, to improve finite element approximations of minimal surfaces by local boundary mesh refinements. By highlighting the fact that a collapse is simply the limit case of a locally bad approximation, we show that our method can also be used to avoid the collapse of finite element approximations. We also extend the study of such approximations to partially free boundary problems and give a theorem for their convergence. Numerical examples showing improvements induced by the method are given throughout the paper.
A two-step preconditioned iterative method based on the Hermitian/Skew-Hermitian splitting is applied to the solution of nonsymmetric linear systems arising from the Finite Element approximation of convection-diffusion equations. The theoretical spectral analysis focuses on the case of matrix sequences related to FE approximations on uniform structured meshes, by referring to spectral tools derived from Toeplitz theory. In such a setting, if the problem is coercive, and the diffusive and convective coefficients are regular enough, then the proposed preconditioned matrix sequence shows a strong clustering at unity, i.e., a superlinear preconditioning sequence is obtained. Under the same assumptions, the optimality of the PHSS method is proved and some numerical experiments confirm the theoretical results. Tests on unstructured meshes are also presented, showing the some convergence behavior.
We study finite element approximations of the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet problem for the fractional Laplacian. Our approach is based on weak imposition of the Dirichlet condition and incorporating a nonlocal analogous of the normal derivative as a Lagrange multiplier in the formulation of the problem. In order to obtain convergence orders for our scheme, regularity estimates are developed, both for the solution and its nonlocal derivative. The method we propose requires that, as meshes are refined, the discrete problems be solved in a family of domains of growing diameter.
