Abstract

This work addresses the development of an approach to approximation, smoothing and error estimation of physical/numerical data. It includes: development of postprocessing techniques for approximation of data in discrete form, development of an iterative approach to additional enhancement of data at new (required in computer procedures) locations, validation of an a posteriori technique to trace loss of accuracy in original data, and application of above mentioned procedure in wheel stress recovery calculations (approximation of the physical and numerical - FEM data). Theoretical considerations and numerical analysis are based on the Adaptive Finite element Analysis (AFEM) and the Meshless Finite Difference approximation (MFDM).
