Abstract

An rh-method, which combines r- and h-methods, is proposed for cost-effective adaptive FE analysis in two-dimensional linear elastic problems. Through various numerical test examples, the rh-method is compared with the h-method. From these examples it is concluded that the rh-method has the advantages of both the r- and h-methods, so that the rh-method can minimize the computational time required for the adaptive analysis. The algorithm of the rh-method can be implemented easily in existing h-adaptive FE codes, since the r-method is independently combined with the h-method.
