Fighting Singularities in Solids and Fluids

Abstract:
One of the still persisting problems in both solid and fluids mechanics is to deal with singularities in the stress/strain fields or the flow field. An associated problem is the mesh-size dependence and non-convergence in finite element calculations in the material softening regime. A simple regularization method can be used to overcome both difficulties. This is shown for both elastic and plastic solids, as well as for both Newtonian and complex fluids.
