Abstract

Some improvements of the coupling-matrix-free iterative s-version finite element method (FEM) to shorten its computational time are proposed. Then, the proposed method is applied to three-dimensional stress concentration problems. For sufficiently small computational time for practical use, two key techniques are introduced. First, the iteration is accelerated drastically by using the proposed convergence acceleration techniques. Secondly, stress transfers between global and local meshes are accelerated considerably by a bucket search algorithm. The proposed method was more than one hundred times faster than the straightforward algorithm of the coupling-matrix-free iterative s-version FEM.
