Moreover, we propose an adaptive strategy to reduce computational cost and derive better approximations for problems with singularities and with large approximating systems. Numerical experiments confirm theoretical conclusions. © 2018 Global-Science Press.Recurso electrónicoapplication/pdfenghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/article10.4208/eajam.100317.020318aA posteriori error estimatorAdaptive methodDomain decomposition methodHarmonic elastodinamics equationNitsche methodNon-matching meshinfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessAtribución-NoComercial 4.0 InternacionalUniversidad Tecnológica de BolívarRepositorio UTB458609817005721211451457212113860
