| Abstract | An adaptive global-local refinement strategy based on the interior error estimates of the h-method is proposed. Adaptive global-local refinement strategy is aimed at constructing nearly optimal finite element meshes, where the force transfer to the local region of interest is sufficiently accurate so that the local phenomena of interest is resolved with a user-specified accuracy. Numerical examples for linear elasticity problems in two dimensions together with a comparison to the classical adaptive h-refinement strategy based on the equidistribution of errors are presented to validate the present formulation. |
