Improved recovery of admissible stress in domain decomposition methods - application to heterogeneous structures and new error bounds for FETI-DP

Abstract

This paper investigates the question of the building of admissible stress field in a substructured context. More precisely we analyze the special role played by multiple points. This study leads to (1) an improved recovery of the stress field, (2) an opportunity to minimize the estimator in the case of heterogeneous structures (in the parallel and sequential case), (3) a procedure to build admissible fields for FETI-DP and BDDC methods leading to an error bound which separates the contributions of the solver and of the discretization
