Numerical solution to problems concerning quasi-static thermoelasticity

Abstract

The numerical solution to an integro-differential equation stemming from plane quasi-static thermoelasticity is investigated. Galerkin finite element method and backward Euler-Galerkin difference quotient are used and a recursive scheme of iteration is constructed, so as to produce an iterative discrete scheme. convergence rate and error estimates are obtained

Keywords:

• Galerkin finite element
• quasi-static thermoelasticity
• contractive operator
