Furthermore, if we decrease the mesh element size, if there is any singularity area, it will start becoming more and more compact while the maximum stresses within that singularity will begin to increase, to reach inifnity.nMy question is, why does this happen? What is the basic theory behind this? Explanation without complex equations will be appreciated. If there are any research papers explaining the reasoning behind this, kindly recommend.n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-49114","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["21343"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["\u052eKN"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["1525"],"_bbp_subscription":["254588"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["49114"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27790"],"_bbp_engagement":["81","180472"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["130716"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["130716"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2020-10-22 07:59:54"]},"test":"rameez_ul_haq"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/49114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/49114\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
