✦ Synopsis

We review and extend the theory and methodology of a posteriori error estimation and adaptivity for modeling error for certain classes of problems in linear and nonlinear mechanics. The basic idea is that for a given collection of physical phenomena a rich class of mathematical models can be identified, including models that are sufficiently refined and validated that they satisfactorily capture the events of interest. These fine models may be intractable, too complex to solve by existing means. Coarser models are therefore used. Moreover, as is frequently the case in applications, there are specific quantities of interest that are sought which are functionals of the solution of the fine model. In this paper, techniques for estimating modeling errors in such quantities of interest are developed. Applications to solid and fluid mechanics are presented.

Benchmark solutions are presented for a simple linear elastic boundary value problem, as analysed using a range of finite element mesh configurations. For each configuration, various estimates of local (i.e. element) and global discretization error have been computed. These show that the optimal mes

Consider the partial linear models of the form Y=X { ;+ g(T)+e, where the p-variate explanatory X is erroneously measured, and both T and the response Y are measured exactly. Let X be the surrogate variable for X with measurement error. Let the primary data set be that containing independent observa
