The finite element methods (FEM) are important techniques in engineering for solving partial differential equations, but they depend heavily on element shape quality for stability and good performance. In this paper, we introduce the…

We consider the approximation of the 2D frictionless contact problem in elasticity using the Virtual Element Methods (VEMs). To overcome the volumetric locking phenomenon in the nearly incompressible case, we adopt a mixed…

In the present work we generalize the curvilinear Virtual Element technology, introduced for a simple linear scalar problem in a previous work, to generic 2D solid mechanic problems in small deformations. Such generalization also includes…

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is widely used to solve discrete Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) in engineering and graphics applications. The popularity of FEM led to the development of a large family of variants, most of which…

We study, both theoretically and numerically, the equilibrium of a hinged rigid leaflet with an attached rotational spring, immersed in a stationary incompressible fluid within a rigid channel. Through a careful investigation of the…

This paper devises a novel lowest-order conforming virtual element method (VEM) for planar linear elasticity with the pure displacement/traction boundary condition. The main trick is to view a generic polygon $K$ as a new one…

We develop a numerical assessment of the Virtual Element Method for the discretization of a diffusion-reaction model problem, for higher "polynomial" order k and three space dimensions. Although the main focus of the present study is to…

In this paper, we employ the linear virtual element spaces to discretize the semilinear sine-Gordon equation in two dimensions. The salient features of the virtual element method (VEM) are: (a) it does not require explicit form of the shape…

Virtual element methods is a new promising finite element methods using general polygonal meshes. Its optimal a priori error estimates are well established in the literature. In this paper, we take a different viewpoint. We try to uncover…

The modeling of large deformation fracture mechanics has been a challenging problem regarding the accuracy of numerical methods and their ability to deal with considerable changes in deformations of meshes where having the presence of…

In the present paper we initiate the challenging task of building a mathematically sound theory for Adaptive Virtual Element Methods (AVEMs). Among the realm of polygonal meshes, we restrict our analysis to triangular meshes with hanging…

Polygonal finite elements generally do not pass the patch test as a result of quadrature error in the evaluation of weak form integrals. In this work, we examine the consequences of lack of polynomial consistency and show that it can lead…
