The singular Zienkiewicz tetrahedron: Definition and Integration
Abstract
We extend the two-dimensional singular Zienkiewicz element to three dimensions, leading to a novel H2-conforming finite element on tetrahedral meshes based on rational shape functions. Besides the finite element construction and its conformity analysis, we develop an exact iterative integration procedure for the associated class of rational functions. The resulting formulae allow for the exact integration of the basis functions, their derivatives, and the products occurring in finite element assembly.
