Abstract
Two approaches have been used in finite element studies of discontinuities (shocks) in fluid mechanics. These are discontinuity capture using suitable mesh adaptivity and discontinuity fitting by introduction of discontinuous shape functions in the formulation. Both procedures have been now used successfully in solid mechanics, but the paper discusses the particular advantages of the adaptive process.
