Posteriori Analysis of a Finite Element Discretization for a Penalized Naghdi Shell
Nora Tabouche · 2013
We consider a penalized Naghdi model in Cartesian coordinates for linearly elastic shells with little regularity. A posteriori analysis of the discrete problem leads to the construction of error indicators, which satisfy optimal estimates. We describe a mesh adaptivity strategy relying on these indicators and we present a numerical experiment that confirms its efficiency.
