Abstract
An adaptive finite-element (FE) method for the solution of two-dimensi onal transient dynamic problems is described. The computational domain is represented by an unstructured assembly of linear triangular eleme nts, and the mesh adaption is achieved by regenerating the grid using an error indication procedure coupled with an automatic mesh generator . Problems involving shock and wave propagation are solved to illustra te the numerical performance of the method.
