We would like to calculate the Observed Order of Accuracy (p) of our analysis. Consider the
displacement (extension) as the System Response Quantity (SRQ) of this simulation. SRQ is a
field variable that we would like to evaluate our simulation based on that. We have the exact
solution for the extension so it's possible to calculate the exact value of the nodal displacement at
any x position and calculate the error which is the difference of the obtained value from the
simulation and the exact mathematical solution of the SQR. Since we have several nodes, to
define an overall error of the SRQ, we have to consider all nodal errors. Therefore, we would
like to define an error equation with the concept of average/mean. We use L₁norm which
provides a measure of the average absolute error over the domain and can be defined for uniform
meshes as
||u - Uref || 1 = = =1|un - Uref.nl,
where the subscript n refers to a summation over all N nodes of our numerical domain, and un is
the numerical nodal solution and urefn is the reference solution (exact solution) of node n. Keep
in mind that u is a vector so the norm of the vector is shown in || ||. If h is the element size
(discretization parameter), 2h and h represent the element size of coarse and fine grid meshes
respectively. Note that in our exam, the ratio of coarse to fine grid mesh spacing is 2 which in
general is shown as
