A numerical method called element removal method is applied to calculate singular minimizers in problems of hyperelasticity. The method overcomes the difficulty in finite element approximations caused by restrictions, such as det (I+∇u)>0, on admissible functions and can avoid Lavrentiev phenomenon if it does occur in the problem. The convergence of the method is proved.


A numerical method called element removal method is designed to calculate singular minimizers which cannot be approximated by simple applications of standard numerical methods because of the so-called Lavrentiev phenomenon. The convergence of the method is proved. The results of numerical experiments show that the method is effective.
