Abstract

Considerable progress has been made during the last decade with respect to the development of discretization techniques that are based on the virtual element method. Here we construct a new scheme for large strain problems that include incompressible material behavior. The idea is to use a formulations analogous to the classical Taylor–Hood element, Taylor and Hood (1972) which is based on a mixed principle where different interpolation functions are used for the deformation and pressure field. In this paper, a quadratic serendipity ansatz for the displacements is combined with a linear pressure field which leads to new virtual element formulations that are discussed and compared in this paper.
