Mass lumping methods for the semi-loof shell element
Sháněl, Vít ; Kolman, Radek ; Plešek, Jiří
Mass matrix diagonalization in terms of a finite element method (FEM) is essential for an effective deployment of the explicit method as one of the direct integration methods of the motion equations of elastodynamics. A particular attention is focused on the mass matrix diagonalization of the semi-loof shell element. Its diagonalization requires a specially designed universal diagonalization scheme that is derived from the scaling HRZ method. Another analyzed aspect is the problem of preserving the moment of inertia for various types of finite elements. The proposed scheme is implemented in the finite element program and consequently tested on several problems

Analysis of classical and spectral finite element spatial discretization in one-dimensional elastic wave propagation
Kolman, Radek ; Plešek, Jiří ; Okrouhlík, Miloslav ; Gabriel, Dušan
The spatial discretization of continuum by finite element method introduces the dispersion error to numerical solutions of stress wave propagation. For higher order finite elements there are the optical modes in the spectrum resulting in spurious oscillations of stress and velocity distributions near the sharp wavefront. Spectral finite elements are of h-type finite element, where nodes have special positions along the elements corresponding to the numerical quadrature schemes, but the displacements along element are approximated by Lagrangian interpolation polynomials. In this paper, the classical and Legendre and Chebyshev spectral finite elements are tested in the one-dimensional wave propagation in an elastic bar.
