Abstract
An adaptive finite element (FE) method for the solution of three-dimen sional elasto-static problems is described. The computational domain i s represented by an assembly of tetrahedral elements and the mesh adap tation is achieved by a 3D bisection method using an error estimator p rocedure coupled with an automatic 3D mesh generator. The performance of the method is demonstrated using a number of examples. (C) 1998 Joh n Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
