β¦ Synopsis
Incremental elastic deformations superimposed upon a given homogeneous strain are analyzed with a boundary element technique. This is based on a recently-developed GreenΓs function for non-linear incremental elastic deformations. Plane strain perturbations are considered of a broad class of incompressible material behaviours (including hyper-, hypoelastic and Navier-Stokes constitutive equations) within the elliptic range. Numerical treatment of the problem is detailed. A possibility of employing the method in the fully non-linear range is outlined, which yields a boundary element approach where the use of domain integrals is avoided, at least in a conventional sense. The methods for bifurcation and shear band analyses will be reported in Part II.

A non-conforming finite element formulation, the Incompatible Bubbles method, is proposed for the problem of linear elasticity. As the classical Incompatible Modes method, the proposed formulation is based on an enrichment of the Galerkin solution space with nonconforming functions, the incompatible
In the present contribution, an innovative stabilization technique for two-dimensional low-order ΓΏnite elements is presented. The new approach results in an element formulation that is much simpler than the recently proposed enhanced strain element formulation, yet which gives results of at least th
