Abstract :
A vertex-based nite volume (FV) method is presented for the computational solution of quasi-static
solid mechanics problems involving material non-linearity and in nitesimal strains. The problems are
analysed numerically with fully unstructured meshes that consist of a variety of two- and threedimensional
element types. A detailed comparison between the vertex-based FV and the standard
Galerkin FE methods is provided with regard to discretization, solution accuracy and computational
e ciency. For some problem classes a direct equivalence of the two methods is demonstrated, both
theoretically and numerically. However, for other problems some interesting advantages and disadvantages
of the FV formulation over the Galerkin FE method are highlighted
