Abstract:
We design the conforming virtual element method for the numerical simulation of two dimensional time-dependent elastodynamics problems. We investigate the performance of the method both theoretically and numerically. We prove the stability and the convergence of the semi-discrete approximation in the energy norm and derive optimal error estimates. We also show the convergence in the $L^2$ norm.
The performance of the virtual element method is assessed on a set
of different computational meshes, including non-convex cells up to order four in the $h$-refinement setting. Exponential convergence is also experimentally seen in the $p$-refinement setting.
