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…

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 revisit the cell-based smoothed finite element method (SFEM) for quadrilateral elements and extend it to arbitrary polygons and polyhedrons in 2D and 3D, respectively. We highlight the similarity between the SFEM and the virtual element…

In this paper, an enhanced Virtual Element Method (VEM) formulation is proposed for plane elasticity. It is based on the improvement of the strain representation within the element, without altering the degree of the displacement…

In this work, we review the framework of the Virtual Element Method (VEM) for a model in magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD), that incorporates a coupling between electromagnetics and fluid flow, and allows us to construct novel discretizations for…

In this paper we study the use of Virtual Element method for geomechanics. Our emphasis is on applications to reservoir simulations. The physical processes that form the reservoirs, such as sedimentation, erosion and faulting, lead to…

A dual hybrid Virtual Element scheme for plane linear elastic problems is presented and analysed. In particular, stability and convergence results have been established. The method, which is first order convergent, has been numerically…

We present a virtual element method (VEM) for the numerical approximation of the electromagnetics subsystem of the resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model in two spatial dimensions. The major advantages of the virtual element method…

In this paper, we propose an eXtended Virtual Element Method (X-VEM) for two-dimensional linear elastic fracture. This approach, which is an extension of the standard Virtual Element Method (VEM), facilitates mesh-independent modeling of…

In the present contribution, we construct a virtual element (VE) discretization for the problem of miscible displacement of one incompressible fluid by another, described by a time-dependent coupled system of nonlinear partial differential…

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…

Within the framework of the displacement-based Virtual Element Method (VEM) for plane elasticity a significant problem is represented by an accurate evaluation of the stress field. In particular, in the classical VEM formulation, a suitable…

This paper presents an initial exploration of stress-assisted diffusion problems in three dimensions within the framework of the virtual element method (VEM). Hilbert spaces enriched with parameter-weighted norms, the extended…

We analyse the Virtual Element Methods (VEM) on a simple elliptic model problem, allowing for more general meshes than the one typically considered in the VEM literature. For instance, meshes with arbitrarily small edges (with respect to…

We analyse the nonconforming Virtual Element Method (VEM) for the approximation of elliptic eigenvalue problems. The nonconforming VEM allow to treat in the same formulation the two- and three-dimensional case.We present two possible…

We present and analyze a Virtual Element Method (VEM) of arbitrary polynomial order $k\in\mathbb{N}$ for the Laplace-Beltrami equation on a surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$. The method combines the Surface Finite Element Method (SFEM) [Dziuk,…

We consider, as a simple model problem, the application of Virtual Element Methods (VEM) to the linear Magnetostatic three-dimensional problem in the formulation of F. Kikuchi. In doing so, we also introduce new serendipity VEM spaces,…

In this work, we propose an extension of the mixed Virtual Element Method (VEM) for bi-dimensional computational grids with curvilinear edge elements. The approximation by means of rectilinear edges of a domain with curvilinear geometrical…

We consider the discretization of a boundary value problem for a general linear second-order elliptic operator with smooth coefficients using the Virtual Element approach. As in [59] the problem is supposed to have a unique solution, but…
