  1. A virtual element method for hyperelasticity

    … problems of hyperelasticity, using a loworder virtual element method (VEM). The VEM is an extension of the finite element method (FEM). It is characterised by considerable freedom with regard to element geometry, permitting arbitrary polygonal and polyhedral elements in two and three dimensions …

  2. A virtual element method for transversely isotropic elasticity

    … isotropic elasticity, using a low-order virtual element method (VEM). The VEM is an alternative finite element method characterised by complete freedom in determining element geometries that are otherwise polygonal in two dimensions, or polyhedral in three. Transversely isotropic …

  3. Polytope-based topology optimization using a mimetic-inspired method

    … solutions. Hence, unstructured polyhedral elements are becoming increasingly popular. Since the pioneering work of Wachspress, many interpolants for polytopes have come forth; such as, mean value coordinates, natural neighbor-based coordinates, metric coordinate method and maximum entropy …
