ADAPTIVE TRIGONOMETRIC HERMITE WAVELET FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

Owing to its good approximation characteristics of trigonometric functions and the multi-resolution local characteristics of wavelet, the trigonometric Hermite wavelet function is used as the element interpolation function. The corresponding trigonometric wavelet beam element is formulated based on the principle of minimum potential energy. As the order of wavelet can be enhanced easily and the multi-resolution can be achieved by the multi-scale of wavelet, the hierarchical and multi-resolution trigonometric wavelet beam element methods are proposed for the adaptive analysis. Numerical examples have demonstrated that the aforementioned two methods are effective in improving the computational accuracy. The trigonometric wavelet finite element method (WFEM) proposed herein provides an alternative approach for improving the computational accuracy, which can be tailored for the problem considered.
