A virtual element method for transversely isotropic elasticity

This work studies the approximation of plane problems concerning transversely isotropic elasticity, using a low-order virtual element method (VEM). The VEM is an alternative finite element method characterised by complete freedom in determining element geometries that are otherwise polygonal in two...
