A finite element mesh optimization procedure using a thermal expansion analogy
Finite element optimum meshes are synthesized by the use of thermal expansion principles in conjunction with an analogous temperature field computed from the element strain energy contents. Elements having high strain energy contents are shrunk and those with low strain energy contents are expanded...
