Data Structure and Error Estimation for an Adaptive <i>p</i>-Version Finite Element Method in 2-D and 3-D Solids

Automation of finite element analysis based on a fully adaptive <i>p</i>-refinement procedure can reduce the magnitude of discretization error to the desired accuracy with minimum computational cost and computer resources. This study aims to 1) develop an efficient <i>p</i>-r...
