| Abstract: |
| As for finite element method, the higher-order elements are often used in that they are superior and necessary under certain conditions over the low-order ones, for example, they can overcome the Poisson’s ratio locking. However, they have much higher computational complexity than the linear elements. In this paper, we firstly introduce this method for elliptic problems, to the solution of three dimensional elasticity problems discretized using higher-order elements and propose a two-level method by algebraic approaches. With the existing algebraic multigrid(L_AMG) method used as a solver on the first coarse level, an AMG method is then designed for high-order discretizations. The results of various numerical experiments show that the resulting AMG method is more robust and efficient for the solution of higher-order finite element equations in three dimensional linear elasticity. |
