A finite strain model for multi-material, multi-component biomechanical analysis with total Lagrangian smoothed finite element method

Shao-Wei Wu et al.

Summary: This paper presents a Unified-Implementation of smoothed finite element method (UI-SFEM) for analyzing large deformations of complex biological tissues. The method utilizes automatically generated linear triangles and tetrahedrons to construct the numerical integration domain, and can combine arbitrary forms of smoothing domains based on the numerical characteristics of materials or components. It also considers the instantaneous hyperelasticity and time-dependent viscous behaviors commonly observed in biological tissues. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the UI-SFEM possesses high flexibility, accuracy, computational efficiency, and is insensitive to mesh distortion when simulating multi-material and multi-component biological tissues.

An n -sided polygonal selective smoothed finite element method for nearly incompressible visco-hyperelastic soft materials

Shao-Wei Wu et al.

Summary: This article presents an n-sided polygonal smoothed finite element (nSFEM) for dynamic analyses of nonlinear problems in visco-hyperelastic materials undergoing large deformations. The method constructs two types of smoothing domains for the mesh of n-sided polygonal elements and uses the gradient smoothing technique to simplify the calculation of the strain displacement matrix. A simple averaging point interpolation technique is employed to calculate the shape function values on the boundary of different smoothing domains. The nSFEM demonstrates high precision, super convergence, and robustness in analyzing incompressible visco-hyperelastic problems, as verified by numerous numerical examples.

Error estimation for the polygonal finite element method for smooth and singular linear elasticity

Octavio A. Gonzalez-Estrada et al.

Summary: This study presents a recovery-based error indicator for evaluating the quality of polygonal finite element approximations, which improves the quality of the recovered field by imposing equilibrium conditions and handling singular stress field. The performance of the error indicator is assessed on three problems with exact solution and compared with standard finite element meshes, showing good values for local and global effectivities within the recommended range.
