An Adaptive Wavelet Finite Element Method with High-Order B-Spline Basis Functions

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an adaptive strategy based on a B-spline wavelet Galerkin method is discussed. The authors have developed the wavelet Galerkin Method which utilizes quadratic and cubic B-spline scaling function/wavelet as its basis functions. The developed B-spline Galerkin Method has been proven to be very accurate in the analyses of elastostatics. Then the authors added a capability to adaptively adjust the special resolution of the basis functions by adding the wavelet basis functions where the resolution needs to be enhanced.
