Makes computer models of stretchy stuff more accurate.
We propose mixed finite element methods for Cosserat materials that use suitable quadrature rules to eliminate the Cauchy and coupled stress variables locally. The reduced system consists of only the displacement and rotation variables. Four variants are proposed for which we show stability and convergence using a priori estimates. Numerical experiments verify the theoretical findings and higher order convergence is observed in some variables.
