The comparison of results obtained from the continuous and discontinuous Galerkin Method for the thermoelasticity problem

The presented paper is focused on the comparison of the Continuous and Discontinuous Galerkin Methods in terms of thermoelasticity for a cubic element. For this purpose, a numerical model of the phenomenon was built using both methods together with the Finite Element Method (FEM). The comparison of the results of numerical simulation obtained with the use of an original computer program based on the derived final set of FEM equations for both methods is presented.
