    Abstract Very thin layers with material properties which significantly differ from those of the surrounding medium appear in a variety of applications. Traditionally there are two extreme ways of handling such layers in finite element analysis: either they are fully modelled or they are totally ignored. The former option is often very expensive computationally, while the latter may lead to significant inaccuracies. Here a special technique of modeling thin layers is devised within the framework of the finite element method. This technique constitutes a prudent compromise between the two extremes mentioned above. The layer is replaced More >
