AbstractAutomatic refinement finite element analyses were carried out employing three different-order tetrahedral solid elements for the solution of 3-D stress analysis problems. Numerical results indicated that the adaptive refinement procedure could eliminate effectively the effect of singularities and the optimal convergence rate was achieved in all the examples tested. The preconditioned conjugate gradient technique was used for the solution of the large system of simultaneous equations. By interpolating the initial guess of the iteration solver from the previous converged solution, the number of iterations needed for the solution is lower than expected. Furthermore, when the mesh density distribution pattern has converged, it became even more efficient and independent of the number of degrees of freedom in the finite element mesh. The relative efficiency of the three different-order tetrahedral elements has also been compared in terms of storage and computational cost needed for achieving a certain accuracy. It is found that although the cubic T20 element can achieve the highest convergence rate, the T10 element is the most competitive and effective element in terms of storage and computational cost needed. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
