Abstract

A novel three-dimensional finite volume (FV) procedure is described in detail for the analysis of geometrically nonlinear problems. The FV procedure is compared with the conventional finite element (FE) Galerkin approach. FV can be considered to be a particular case of the weighted residual method with a unit weighting function, where in the FE Galerkin method we use the shape function as weighting function. A Fortran code has been developed based on the finite volume cell vertex formulation. The formulation is tested on a number of geometrically nonlinear problems. In comparison with FE, the results reveal that FV can reach the FE results in a higher mesh density.
