DG method for elasticity

 

Hello,

Here is the problem that I'm having.  I want to implement a discontinuous
Galerkin method for a 2D elasticity problem.  The boundary is divided into
two subsets: Gamma_0 and Gamma_1.  One of my unknowns is the vector u, the
displacement.  Boundary conditions are imposed weakly.  In my formulation of
the method, I have a term of the form

<u_i*n_j,v_i*n_j>_{Gamma_0},

where n is the facet normal and < , >_{Gamma_0} means the integral over
Gamma_0.  Using the built-in exterior facet integral measure *ds in my .form
file will cause the compiler to integrate the term over both Gamma_1 and
Gamma_0.  How do I restrict the integration to Gamma_0 only?  Thanks.
