Towards a unified analysis of mixed methods for elasticity with weakly symmetric stress
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a framework for the unified analysis of mixed methods for elasticity with weakly symmetric stress. Based on a commuting diagram in the weakly symmetric elasticity complex and extending a previous stability result, stable mixed methods are obtained by combining Stokes stable and elasticity stable finite elements. We show that the framework can be used to analyze most existing mixed methods for the elasticity problem with elementary techniques. The framework also allows us to construct new stable mixed finite elements.

A Unified Analysis of Several Mixed Methods for Elasticity with Weak Stress Symmetry
We give a unified error analysis of several mixed methods for linear elasticity which impose stress symmetry weakly. We consider methods where the rotations are approximated by discontinuous polynomials. The methods we consider are such that the approximate stress spaces contain standard mixed finite element spaces for the Laplace equation and also contain divergence free spaces that use bubble...
متن کاملSymmetric Nonconforming Mixed Finite Elements for Linear Elasticity
We present a family of mixed methods for linear elasticity, that yield exactly symmetric, but only weakly conforming, stress approximations. The method is presented in both two and three dimensions (on triangular and tetrahedral meshes). The method is efficiently implementable by hybridization. The degrees of freedom of the Lagrange multipliers, which approximate the displacements at the faces,...
متن کاملA Mixed Nonconforming Finite Element for Linear Elasticity
This article considers a mixed finite element method for linear elasticity. It is based on a modified mixed formulation that enforces the continuity of the stress weakly by adding a jump term of the approximated stress on interior edges. The symmetric stress are approximated by nonconforming linear elements and the displacement by piecewise constants. We establish (h) error bound in the (broken...
متن کاملA mixed finite element for weakly-symmetric elasticity
We develop a finite element discretization for the weakly symmetric equations of linear elasticity on tetrahedral meshes. The finite element combines, for r ≥ 0, discontinuous polynomials of r for the displacement, H(div)-conforming polynomials of order r+1 for the stress, and H(curl)-conforming polynomials of order r + 1 for the vector representation of the multiplier. We prove that this tripl...
متن کاملDifferential Complexes and Stability of Finite Element Methods Ii: the Elasticity Complex
A close connection between the ordinary de Rham complex and a corresponding elasticity complex is utilized to derive new mixed finite element methods for linear elasticity. For a formulation with weakly imposed symmetry, this approach leads to methods which are simpler than those previously obtained. For example, we construct stable discretizations which use only piecewise linear elements to ap...
