This paper is to study the convergence and superconvergence of rectangular finite elements under anisotropic meshes. By using of the orthogonal expansion method, an anisotropic Lagrange interpolation is presented. The family of Lagrange rectangular elements with all the possible shape function spaces are considered, which cover the Intermediate families, Tensor-product families and Serendipity families. It is shown that the anisotropic interpolation error estimates hold for any order Sobolev norm. We extend the convergence and superconvergence result of rectangular finite elements to arbitrary rectangular meshes in a unified way.
In this paper,a stochastic second-order two-scale(SSOTS)method is proposed for predicting the non-deterministic mechanical properties of composites with random interpenetrating phase.Firstly,based on random morphology description functions(RMDF),the randomness of the material properties of the constituents as well as the correlation among these random properties are fully characterized through the topologies of the constituents.Then,by virtue of multiscale asymptotic analysis,the random effective quantities such as stiffness parameters and strength parameters along with their numerical computation formulae are derived by a SSOTS strategy combined with the Monte-Carlo method.Finally,the SSOTS method developed in this paper shows an excellent computational accuracy,and therefore present an important advance towards computationally efficient multiscale modeling frameworks considering microstructure uncertainties.
