Abstract

A mixed finite element procedure for plane elasticity is introduced and analyzed. The symmetry of the stress tensor is enforced through the introduction of a Lagrange multiplier. An additional Lagrange multiplier is introduced to simplify the linear algebraic system. Applications are made to incompressible elastic problems and to plasticity problems.
