| Abstract: |
We present the derivation and discretization of a novel ultraweak variational formulation for nonlinear elasticity. Moreover, we rely on the ability of polyhedral finite elements (FEs) to capture large deformations of rubber-like materials. For an application example in which an elastomeric foam is subject to large compressive deformations, we run numerical experiments with three FE methods: Bubnov-Galerkin with the classical weak formulation and tetrahedral elements, discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin with the ultraweak formulation and tetrahedral elements, and discontinuous Petrov-Galerkin with the ultraweak formulation and polyhedral elements (PolyDPG). The results for this example show a clear superiority of PolyDPG against the other two methods, having reached a remarkable 52% deformation against 4% and 2.4% reached by the other two.
