Expanded mixed finite element method is introduced to approximate the two-dimensional Sobolev equation. This formulation expands the standard mixed formulation in the sense that three unknown variables are explicitly treated. Existence and uniqueness of the numerical solution are demonstrated. Optimal order error estimates for both the scalar and two vector functions are established.

Element Method

We analyze the convergence of a mixed finite element method introduced by Zienkiewicz, Taylor, Papadopoulos and Oñate for the Reissner–Mindlin plate model. In order to do this, we compare it with a method which is known to be convergent with optimal order uniformly in the plate thickness. We show that the difference between the solutions of both methods is of higher order than the error. In particular the method does not present locking and is optimal order convergent. We also present several numerical experiments which confirm the similar behavior of both methods.
