✦ Synopsis

By using a formulation of EHL problems which employs a nonlinear variational inequality and an exterior penalty method, convergence of finite element approximations to the EHL problem is studied. It is shown that the finite element method for the penalized problem is convergent. Then an a priori error estimate of the finite element solution is derived. Numerical experiments are performed for both line contact and point contact problems. In cases of light loads, first-order convergence in the HLnorm for pressure approximation by linear elements and second-order convergence for quadratic elements are achieved as predicted. One order higher convergence in the L2-norm is also observed as expected.

Methods for a posteriori error estimation for finite element solutions are well established and widely used in engineering practice for linear boundary value problems. In contrast here we are concerned with finite elasticity and error estimation and adaptivity in this context. In the paper a brief o

In this paper, we present an a posteriori error analysis for mixed finite element approximation of convex optimal control problems. We derive a posteriori error estimates for the coupled state and control approximations under some assumptions which hold in many applications. Such estimates can be us
