Abstract Naturally evolving Voronoi discretisation of two-dimensional plane domains renders representative microstructures that turn out to be useful for the modelling and simulation of polycrystalline materials. Hybrid finite element approaches are employed on such polygonal discretisations to solve, for instance, mechanical and electromechanical problems within a finite element context. In view of solving mechanical problems, varying order of polynomial functions are suggested in the literature to sufficiently approximate stresses within the polygonal finite elements. These are, in addition to the order of the approximation functions for the displacements, characterised by the number of edges in the polygonal elements. It appears, as… More >
