Rectangular mixed finite elements for elasticity with weak symmetry

The symmetry of stress tensor in linear elasticity is a main obstacle in constructing stable mixed finite elements. A weak symmetry idea has been successful in developing new mixed finite elements for elasticity. In this talk, we introduce new rectangular mixed finite elements for elasticity with weak symmetry and if time permits, the elasticity complex framework of Arnold-Falk-Winther will be introduced.
