Abstract
Mixed finite element methods are designed to overcome shear locking phenomena observed in the numerical treatment of Reissner–Mindlin plate models. Automatic adaptive mesh-refining algorithms are an important tool to improve the approximation behavior of the finite element discretization. In this paper, a reliable and robust residual-based a posteriori error estimate is derived, which evaluates a t-depending residual norm based on results in [D. Arnold, R. Falk, R. Winther, Math. Modell. Numer. Anal. 31 (1997) 517–557]. The localized error indicators suggest an adaptive algorithm for automatic mesh refinement. Numerical examples prove that the new scheme is efficient.
