Finite element method

Patch test (finite elements)

The patch test in the finite element method is a simple indicator of the quality of a finite element, developed by Bruce Irons.The patch test uses a partial differential equation on a domain consisting from several elements set up so that the exact solution is known and can be reproduced, in principle, with zero error. Typically, in mechanics, the prescribed exact solution consists of displacements that vary as piecewise linear functions in space (called a constant strain solution). The elements pass the patch test if the finite element solution is the same as the exact solution. It was long conjectured by engineers that passing the patch test is sufficient for the convergence of the finite element, that is, to ensure that the solutions from the finite element method converge to the exact solution of the partial differential equation as the finite element mesh is refined. However, this is not the case, and the patch test is neither sufficient nor necessary for convergence. A broader definition of patch test (applicable to any numerical method, including and beyond finite elements) is any test problem having an exact solution that can, in principle, be exactly reproduced by the numerical approximation. Therefore, a finite-element simulation that uses linear shape functions has patch tests for which the exact solution must be piecewise linear, while higher-order finite elements have correspondingly higher-order patch tests.

The true second derivative test

In this video I present the second derivative test in multivariable calculus, which is used to find local maxima/minima/saddle points of a function. However, unlike the nonsense they usually teach in the books, here I'm presenting a more elegant way with some linear algebra blended in. I'm

Abstract: We review how to bound the error between the unknown weak solution of a PDE and its numerical approximation via a fully computable a posteriori estimate. We focus on approximations obtained at an arbitrary step of a linearization (Newton-Raphson, fixed point, ...) and algebraic s
