Abstract
An adaptive finite element (FE) method for the solution of one dimensional transient dynamic problems is described. The mesh adaption is achieved by regenerating the grid into a number of regions using an error estimation procedure coupled with an automatic mesh generator. A numerical example of this mesh adaption technique is presented for the problem of a bar subjected to a suddenly applied end load.
