Adaptive Finite Elements in Linear and Nonlinear Solid and Structural Mechanics

This course with 6 lecturers intends to present a systematic survey of recent research results of well-known scientists on error-controlled adaptive finite element methods in solid and structural mechanics with emphasis to problem-dependent concepts for adaptivity, error analysis as well as h- and p-adaptive refinement techniques including meshing and remeshing. Challenging applications are of equal importance, including elastic and elastoplastic deformations of solids, con­ tact problems a...
