β¦ Synopsis
An adaptive mesh refinement scheme in the finite element method is presented in this paper. The new criterion Bdiff for adaptive refinement is tested for its validity. A technique for approximating curved boundaries employing the concept of triangle subdivision in conjunction with Delauney triangulation is also considered, so that the mesh produced is optimal. The implementation of the adaptive mesh refinement criterion in conjunction with the proposed technique of including the curved boundaries in the finite element model is described in detail and several examples of its application are given by way of illustration.

## Abstract One version of the stochastic finite element method involves representing the solution with respect to a basis in the space of random variables and evaluating the coβordinates of the solution with respect to this basis by relying on Hilbert space projections. The approach results in an
A new finite element, viable for use in the three-dimensional simulation of transient physical processes with sharply varying solutions, is presented. The element is intended to function in adaptive h-refinement schemes as a versatile transition between regions of different refinement levels, ensuri
