Abstract
AbstractIn this work, we apply the Reduced Basis (RB) Method to the field of nonlinear elasticity. In this first stage of research, we analyze a buckling problem for a compressed 2D column: Here, the trivial linear solution is computed for an arbitrary load; the critical load, marking the transition to nonlinearity, is then identified through an eigenvalue problem. The linear problem satisfies the Lax‐Milgram conditions, allowing the implementation of both a Successive Constraint Method for an inexpensive lower bound of the coercivity constant and of a rigorous and efficient a posteriori error estimator for the RB approximation. Even though only a non‐rigorous estimator is available for the buckling problem, the actual RB approximation of the output is more than satisfactory, and the gain in computational efficiency significant.
