Numerical Analysis of Junctions between Thin Shells, Part 2 : Approximation by Finite Element Methods
Résumé
The purpose of this work is to study the numerical analysis of junctions between thin shells. We describe the approximation by a «pseudo-conforming» finite element method associated with the Argyris triangle and taking into account the numerical integration. Under suitable hypothesis on the integration schemes and on the data, we prove the convergence of this method and we derive a priori error estimates.
